At my leisure time, I use it to build real-time apps (fast, 
faster, fastest ;-)

At work, we use it for web-based stuff like apps in the cloud 
foundry.
The big challenge for D is the small code base, lot of unfinished 
libs, low numbers of CPUs support, and tiny community compared to 
other languages.

A typical discussion at work:
"Did you hear about D?"
"What's this"
"A C-like language with more state-of-the-art syntax and 
functionalities. More secure, faster, more flexible compared to 
C, C++"
"Is it strategic? Are other companies using it? Any light tower 
apps?..."
"No, yet, but.."
"Let's go to work with C/C++/Java/Javascript/PHP/Python...!"

The point is, if you has the experience with other languages 
before, and you discover D (in my case it was an article in a 
german IT magazine), you don't like to go back. But you have to 
make the first step forward.
