I do like Rust given its ML heritage, but Swift, modern C++ and 
.NET Native are bigger menaces to D.

The only languages that succeeded at mainstream adoption for 
systems programming are the ones that there is no way around them 
since they are the official OS languages.

D needs the sponsorship of an OS vendor to succeeded in the 
systems area.
