This post sums up a lot of my feelings towards the current state 
of D. The part that stood out to me the most was the part calling 
D an old language. More and more it feels like D is getting 
worse, not better, feels like more half baked language features, 
and almost no progress on things that matter like ease of use and 
tools.
