i believe it's not.

so-called "enterprise" will not choose D for many reasons, and "c++
interop" is on the bottom of the list.

seasoned c++ developer will not migrate to D for many reasons (or he
already did that, but then he is not c++ developer anymore), and "c++
interop" is not on the top of the list, not even near the top.

all that gory efforts aimed to "c++ interop" will bring three and a
half more users. there will be NO massive migration due to "better c++
interop". yet this feature is on the top of the list now. i'm sad.

seems that i (we?) have no choice except to wait until people will get
enough of c++ games and will became focused on D again. porting and
merging CDGC is much better target which help people already using D,
but... but imaginary "future adopters" seems to be the highest
priority. too bad that they will never arrive.
