You speak like someone who's read the spec, but doesn't actually 
use the product. If you can put your theoretical mind on hold for 
a few days and actually immerse yourself in the language and its 
idioms for practical use*, you'd see that D has a large 
feature-overlap with to up-to-date C++, but often feels very 
different in practice. Maybe take some of the time you spend 
writing theoretically motivated forum posts and turn it in to 
some practical experience?

P.S. forgive me if I'm wrong and you have done a bunch of serious 
coding in D, it just seemed unlikely seeing as you never seem to 
make specific practical complaints with example code, it's always 
an overarching principle or grand direction problem.
