I've used D alongside C++ code in games for a few years,
professionally, and in my own toy projects, including on the console
platforms you expressed a concern for.

You might want to take a look at my engine + bindings:

You can do some cool stuff in D that is impossible in C++.
vertex.d for instance demonstrates some interesting opportunities to
make the bindings far nicer in D, even though it's just a front-end
for a C++ engine.
