Are programs/OSes written in D more secure than programs written in C/C++?

It's not that predictable. It all depends on the code, the programmers, the 
way the project's managed, all sorts of very non-quantifiable things. 
There's a lot about D that makes it easier to write code that's less buggy, 
and less prone to certain security issues, etc., but it's not something that 
can really be quantified like that, regardless of what two languages you're 
comparing.
