Interesting.

The main key points I see coming from this.

* The community wasn't helpful/consistent
* Implementation problems
* Being built on top of the JVM

I think the D has a good community behind it, but I suppose only the new 
guys can really give a usable opinion.

There are definitely implementation problems in D, some design issues. 
But as you mention, this gap is closing and at an increasing rate.

D has done well with being independent but inter-operable with C.
