FFS you're so dramatic. First the world is ending because private 
doesnt work as you expected. Then D is utterly useless without 
the changes you want. Now we live in some dystopian nightmare 
where we are all slaves to the Dlang spec.

Listen up dude, people here have been using D as it is, are happy 
with how it works, and even prefer how it works. They have done 
so for months or years. That is a big bar for you to get over, 
they have years of experience with D working for them. Coming in 
and saying "ooh but thats wrong, your doing it wrong.. because 
OOP... etc..." waving your arms, making hyperbolic statements 
about how its the end of the world etc... wont win any arguments.

You cant convince people of what you say if all you do is give 
them an ideological*** argument that is counter to their years of 
experience. That's just the way it is, it's actually better that 
way, because otherwise people would be swayed by every passing 
preacher and everything would be in a right mess.

***Your argument is ideological because you dont provide any 
evidence for it. This has been pointed out and yet you still dont 
seem grasp it. Saying "this is what you need to do and this is 
why it will benefit" is not evidence, it is a statement of belief.

Please understand I am not saying what you want is right or 
wrong, I'm saying you dont understand why people aren't won over 
by what you say.
