Of course. But Java requires a world class GC and 
state-of-the-art escape analysis to achieve excellent 
performance. These would be nice to have in D, especially the 
super duper GC, but D will be fine IMO once it has a decent 
precise GC since it won't be pounding the GC as hard as Java 
would.

I hope that after the ICE removal release coming up soon that 
there will be a 'get the precise GC working' release.

As far as escape analysis goes, I rather wish D had stolen some 
ideas from Ada (>95) like 'aliased' and restrictions on 
address-taking and pointers, but I suppose that will have to wait 
for D2++.
