OK, the frustration is understandable. D is good enough to 
impress in short-run but has problems damaging itself in the long 
run. This leads to impression -> frustration cycle.

However, one point regarding portability. It is wrong to target 
cross - platform project by *assuming* that Mono is good enough. 
Either you need portability and you care what Mono does, or you 
don't. But then it is irrelevant what happens in Linux.

By the way, it seems you started from .Net from the very 
beginning. It is unclear why you considered D in such 
circumstances (of course, except portability, but it seems you 
actually don't need it).

Last point. You mentioned performance. Did you run benchmarks?
