There would be no reason for anyone to adopt it unless it does 
something unique.

I can't say I've looked at everything Rust has pushed in this 
area, but their standard thing about rewriting stuff in Rust 
works for a small Unix utility, and then they can post it to 
Hacker News and get upvotes because "Woah! Neat!" That strategy 
will be completely useless in this area because the target 
audience wants to get stuff done and they don't have a use for a 
weird, complex language.

It would be worthwhile to do everything before and after calling 
the ML library in D. It's a matter of someone writing a 
convenient library. In this community, unfortunately, you'd 
likely get a bunch of templated crap that will drive people away.
