I would say that D needs a usecase that puts it aside from other 
languages. For Java this was the Internet. For Go it was 
channel-based concurrency in conjunction with some style of green 
threads (aka CSP). It is now the time of server side concurrent 
programming. I would suggest to jump onto this wagon and add 
channels and green threads to D. When people successfully develop 
many server side systems this way as with Go the news will spread 
by itself. No killer app for D needed. Also Go does not have one.
