You probably should, as C++ is the de facto standard in the games
industry, and the one area where D could shine above languages like C#
or Java. You might even be able to get some funding from big companies
like EA or others if you can convince them you're on the right track.

And this is just as, if not more important, in the games industry as
elsewhere. I do agree that a correct and full implementation of these
features is more important than Walter getting distracted on a late-game
feature request. Since Walter is gating pull requests, he should either
prioritize them or delegate the responsibility.
