- Quality of ecosystem. It's relatively simple to run into an 
issue, that requires one to be a D expert to resolve (codegen 
bugs, ICEs, CTFE bugs, undecipherable error messages). Fairly 
problematic for learning the language, especially for people 
without C++ background.

- Lack of libraries. We're missing too many components and the 
fact that I'd have to write 3 libraries to realize a tiny project 
makes it particularly hard to get a foot in the door.

- Learning material. To much knowledge about D is implicitly 
shared among contributors and heavy users (e.g. local imports 
should be selective, or they might shadow symbols) making it 
harder to learn the language. Outdated information on dlang.org 
doesn't help either.
