Why are you using D instead of Rust?

AFAIK rust has bound checking, which is nice to have in system 
programming. It can be done in C too, but for some reason they 
chose to introduce a new language than change the C tradition. 
Granted, when bound checking is built into the language, it 
becomes more useful.
