It seems like D would catch on faster if it could be used more 
places,
but at the same time I do understand your concern about the 
language fragmentation that could occur. That is a major, major 
issue.

D is superior to C and C++ but
D is fighting an up hill battle when it comes to market share.
Unfortunately, I guess for now, I am stuck using the C/C++ tools 
that are available for all of the different microcontrollers out 
there.
