It is the year 2020: why should I use / learn D?

I doubt the shortening distance. While C++ does advance and D 
isn't moving as fast as it was at 2010 (I think), I still believe 
C++ isn't the faster evolver of the two. When the next C++ 
standard comes out, D has improved too. Examples of what might be 
there by then:

-stable and reasonably documented DIP1000 implementation
-Dpp able to compile real-world c++ headers
-ability to script web pages and call the Web API without needing 
JavaScript glue code for that
-generally more stable implementation
- at nogc nothrow pure @safe containers that work with allocators 
and const/immutable

And if they're really going to add all that you listed and do it 
well, I don't think it will happen by 2020. Even if the standard 
catches that year, the implementations are unlikely to.
