You have the advantage of being a longtime Windows user. I've 
given up on Windows support for anything I share. It's just too 
difficult. The Linux experience is really, really easy, and it 
would be nice if the Windows experience was just as easy. This 
would be a good opportunity for the D Language Foundation to step 
in (and with a solid plan, raise some money).

Among other things, with a good Windows experience, I could write 
R packages in D and share them on Github. It's kind of useless to 
do that until setting up a Windows development environment is 
straightforward for someone that's not a professional software 
developer.
