D is not ready for anything.  At the very best, It's in alpha.  Don't
let others make you think otherwise.

DMD is one of the buggiest compilers out there.  If you are a
non-DMD/Phobos developer and think that D is ready for any kind of
work then you must be high on dope.

If you want to learn a new programming language and experience D, then
go for it.  The language itself is very enjoyable, specially if you
are coming from C/C++/Java.  However, anything more than a 1K LOC is
going to get you in trouble, specially if you decide to use one of the
_nice_ features of the language.

Yes, things are improving rapidly, but I would say it's going take at
least another year before DMD is stable.
