Here at work I'm toying with C++ compatibility right now: If it's 
viable, I would like to use D instead of C++ for a cloud tool 
that must link with C++ computer vision libraries...

Right now it sounds promising, so this feature could really be 
very interesting, not only to facilitate the integration with 
existing in-house codebase, but also for brand new projects.

I'm starting to think that there will be a lot of buzz and fuss 
about D as soon as good bindings to popular C++ libs will appear 
in the wild...
