Yeah we're talking "on the shoulders of giants" here, and it is 
possible that D could end up in that hall of fame at some time.

However, speaking to the original point, Jonathan Blow has a very 
different philosophy to Walter and Andrei, Jonathan is very games 
oriented, and Jai targets games development. D's CTFE probably 
had some influence on Jai (as did Lisp etc as Paulo pointed) out, 
but in no way did Jonathan think of, or approach, Jai as a cut 
down D.
