Here is an overview of ES6, ES7:

As you can see, even ES6 has features that D lacks, like 
destructuring, and it brings ES close to existing scripting 
languages.

With ES7 you also get SIMD and language level async. At that 
point only tooling will keep ES7 out of broad application 
development.

I can totally see ES7 + C/C++ bottom layer take over cross 
platform app development. Compile C/C++ to WebAssembly/native and 
build the app in ES7 (or a language close to it).

Only sabotage can prevent it, IMO.
