Indeed, D has many excellent ideas. I hope that some day you'll 
consider allowing a breaking "D3" though, as the D language 
design also has a great deal of technical debt accumulated from 
the blitz of feature additions in D2.

If that debt can be payed off, I don't think that any of the 
currently popular languages could compete with it.

It's been on DUB since before this review started, and I plan to 
support it (including incorporating some of the feedback from 
this thread).
