You wrote this as if not using c and c++ libraries is a predicate for 
being a systems language.  It's not.

What's with the D community's (yes, I'm over generalizing some) 
not-invented-here syndrome?  Avoiding the incredible body of existing 
code out there that's accumulated over the decades is foolhardy and 
narrow sighted.  Are all c and c++ libraries great bodies of code, 
absolutely not.  Is some of the code that predates D worth reusing, yup.

Sigh,
