There is a ton of work that can be done. Everyone instantly jumps 
to language changes, which frankly are irrelevant in terms of D 
seeing wider adoption. The language is already good enough. Maybe 
not for every use case, but definitely good enough to see much 
heavier usage.

None of the things you've listed explains problems with the 
tooling, lack of blogging and YouTubing about D, lack of certain 
libraries, etc.
