D was designed to have RAII, and it does. It's just that the implementation
is buggy (which is obviously a serious problem), so depending on what your
program is doing, it's not going to work correctly. It's not like we opted
to not have RAII in D, and I'm sure that it will be fixed at some point. So,
while it can certainly be argued that we've dropped the ball by not getting
it fully fixed by now, I don't really see how it could be termed a missed
opportunity.
