To elaborate:

1. A "systems language" that doesn't compile to any embedded microcontroller 
seems more than a little bit silly to me. (Sad as it is to say, I don't 
think GDC counts anymore.)

2. I have absolutely zero interest in 64-bit. To the people annoyed at the 
limitations of the 32-bit address space: What in the world are you working 
on? Non-linear video editors and 3D modeling packages?

I should also add near the top of my list, "the CPUs of all major game 
consoles". I think console game programmers are very much in need of a 
language that doesn't suck as horribly as C++, and D is the only one out 
there that doesn't contain fundamental deal-breakers for modern console game 
dev.
