Lol, this one made me laugh.

It is true though. I have only been keeping up with D for like 
the last year or so and have found that its missing many things 
that i would like it to do by itself, without the help of C/C++. 
Multimedia and graphics for example. D ALWAYS has to rely on 
C/C++ libraries for this. OpenGL is an exception 
because...well...every OS out there has OpenGL...

Apart from that GC is a concern to many. I can see why GC would 
not be needed for a systems language but i see D primarily as a 
General Software Programming language where GC is most needed.
