Yes, I beliebe that enthusiasm and passion is something people 
are sometimes looking for at job interviews. In my last job 
interview I showed some passion about concurrent programming and 
I think they like that, that is the passion. Whether it is about 
concurrent programming or D might not be that important.

This is interesting. Maybe I write a little framwork or something 
in Kotlin and file it on github. Then I have something to show in 
any case. And from then on I can just play with D ;-)
