This is what attracts me to D--it's easy to write, clean to read, and 
super powerful. However the "faster development time" is a bit marred by 
D's current ecosystem: it's faster/easier than other languages in 
certain domains, but lack of libraries/integration make it a tough 
choice in other domains (like mobile). And we have fairly regular 
complaints on the forum about the new-to-D experience (and good on them 
for taking the time to post about it here!). If I had free time for D 
I'd be trying to work on improving those things.
