Nothing is holding me back from using D on my personal projects. 
At this point, all of them are in D. The primary thing that I'm 
lacking is time to work on them.

Now, using D at work is another thing entirely, but that has more 
to do with there being existing codebases and it being very 
difficult to talk coworkers into using a new language or 
technology than there necessarily being any technical issues.

Sure, there are some things that would be easier to do if they 
were written in D or if we had better wrappers for existing C++ 
stuff (e.g. it would be great to be able to fully use Qt from D), 
but because it's trivial to call C functions, and even 
interacting with C++ is possible on some level, it's not really a 
blocker when something isn't in D - just annoying.
