Rust says "Rewrite", D will say "Extend" which means extend your 
code and rewrite slowly with a safe and simple language. 
Companies can start writing D and use their existing c/c++ code. 
I have been working in c/c++ for last 10-15 years still I couldnt 
follow rust easily. Went through the rust book 2 times. I do like 
some part of it but any big code base looks horribly complex. I 
doubted if its my problem or is language is complex and bad to 
read.
