At least as important as getting the job done, is doing jobs.  As much 
fun as it is to debate and discuss what could or needs to be done to 
attract one group of developers or another, actually using and releasing 
systems built with D are going to contribute to accumulating to the 
total mass of code.  Each time someone wraps a new library, each time 
someone fixes some bug because it affects them, etc.. these all push 
things forward inch by inch.

Eventually that mass might actually reach critical.   But even if it 
doesn't, things continue to get incrementally easier for those that 
already use D and it's ecosystem.
