Well, there's also the redesign of the Phobos collections.

I don't know if attracting C++ users is currently a specific goal 
of the D Foundation, but if it is, I suggest listening to the 
complaints that C++ users make (about C++, not D), e.g. [1]. 
Ironically, some of the common complaints, like incomprehensible 
error messages (for templates, anyway), are also common 
complaints about D.
