+1 for the GC. Making it precise (and maybe generational) would 
easily be a nice project for 2 people at least. As well as 
allocators.

For other projects, D still doesn't have a nice unified interface 
to databases.

As for distributed computing, a port of Apache Hadoop and HBase 
to the D language that shows  better performance and memory 
characteristics than the Java version would be nice, and it would 
shed the light on the language.
