Indeed if technical debt is a big problem, some radical plan of 
action would be needed.

Though again, do we have the manpower? Or are we able to attract

I'm guilty. I've been curious about D from the beginning, but I 
have barely started a couple of hobby projects. C# serves me 
better and it's what is used at my job, and what will continue to 
be used. :\
