Nothing can compete with C, in terms of being the layer just 
above assembly.

Many try. All fail.

Improving on D's capability to write and interop with low-level 
code, seems like a worthwhile exercise to me, as it expands the 
problem domains in which D can be used.

But that is a very different objective to being C's successor.

C will always B.
