 From my daily experience I can confirm that for exactly the 
scenario you describe D is working extremely well.
Maintaining a D code base over years in a multi teams project is 
a pleasant job.

The advertising Golang does might be a lot
Better than D, but it in my experience it is just the 
advertisement.
