I don't think so: given that D is "C++ done right", it would 
require many (unlikely to happen) changes to become an 
interesting alternative for Ada: for example changing the 
semantic of integers!

That said, one question I should ask to Rust devs is why they 
didn't base Rust on Ada given their goals..
