Because the parts of the D community that are both vocal and 
motivated enough to discuss language improvements are a mix of 
opposing egos striving for their own visions of perfection, and 
any slight compromise is deemed unacceptable, unworkable, and 
nothing short of heresy in the eyes of the all mighty Perfect 
Solution.

I mean this in a relatively sincere way as everyone wants what 
they think is best for the language, but failure to come to a 
common ground results in things like several years of on-and-off 
bike shedding around features other languages (that don't have 
the same challenges and complications as D for what its worth) 
could have pushed through several times over since then.

Every C# release I get really excited to see some of the cool new 
features and syntax sugar they add, as it's often well designed, 
well integrated, has tooling support straight away, and generally 
just helps make code feel cleaner... (well not all the time lol).

Meanwhile we still can't figure out a way to get string 
interpolation into the language that isn't shot dead in its 
entirety on arrival :D

However if DIP1030 (Named arguments) - which I'm slightly 
surprise wasn't bikeshedded to rejection - managed to get 
through, then I'm optimistic in another 5 years we'll have 
settled on something for interpolation, whether it be outright 
rejection of the entire idea, or an actual implementable solution.
