Notice that in his post and the comments, a recurring (negative) 
issue is garbage collection. This is pretty common with mentions 
of D on reddit too, always a few posters mentioning D's GC as a 
negative. So many of those comments could be made obsolete by a 
decent precise garbage collector, and perhaps a compiler switch 
like the 'noruntime' one that Walter proposed a few months ago.

On the plus side, D is mentioned prominently and in the 
comparison with C++ template programming D really shines.
