Well nothing I do fits D's design, Nim is quite a different 
language with its effect system for global variables and its 
distinction between traced and untraced pointers.

You can always emulate everything that Nim does to some extend in 
D but I doubt the result would be something you want to use in 
production. This is not a criticism of D, D and Nim and Rust are 
simply more different than e.g Ruby, Python and Lua are.
