Does D have any political goals?

I should also point out that many other languages have the 
problems I describe. Haskell is the only other language I can 
think of that might be on the same level as D in terms of 
language design but it too has stagnated the same approach was 
taken. It may never had intended to be a mainstream language and 
while it's a different flavor it is able to tackle very complex 
problems due to it's type system. I can't same much about it 
though since I don't use it due to basically it becoming defunct. 
I'm not going to program in a text editor/word processor and I 
want and IDE that is going to make my life easier not harder. I 
want a language that helps me rather than wastes my time. MS does 
the best job in these terms because it's languages is fairy 
advanced, there is massive integration, and it has many tools 
that help the programmer. There is more to a language than just 
the language specs or compiler... as I've already pointed out, 
python is actually a rather crappy language but I've programmed 
much more in python than Haskell. Even though python doesn't have 
much of an IDE, it's integration with VS and MS turning it in to 
a .net language makes it much more useful.
