AFAICT, the money goes to internal compiler work to add new

Well, there's also the redesign of the Phobos collections.
I don't know if attracting C++ users is currently a specific goal
of the D Foundation, but if it is, I suggest listening to the
complaints that C++ users make (about C++, not D), e.g. [1].
Ironically, some of the common complaints, like incomprehensible
error messages (for templates, anyway), are also common
complaints about D.
