I think this is the way, focusing first on eliminating things 
instead of adding more.

This is a list of things that the D team have wanted to remove 
over the years:

- Complex number support
- Lazy attribute
- Some problematic features of classes, __traits(compiles, ...)
- alias this
- Extern C++ with an identifier for the namespace

Now, what I would like is to simplify the syntax:
There are like 5 ways of creating delegates, wouldn't be better 
to stick to one?
Make different keywords instead of overusing them, for example 
static.

For completeness this are things that the D team have wanted to 
add or change over the years:
- Constructor syntax
- Pattern Matching
- Import C++
