My impression is that theoreticians and very advanced programmers love
elaborate type systems. Nine-to-five programmers, which are in the
majority, prefer simplicity even if the cost is reliability. Just look
at the comments to my blog post.
I know we have to do something about null references in D, but I'm
still on the fence about how we should accomplish that.
So, let's ask the community: Would you like to see nullable types in D?

Explain your reasoning in newsgroups. Thank you.
I voted yes. There have been far too many NullPointerExceptions in various
languages, for the 9-5 programmer to understand in 15 minutes what
non-nullable types are :-)
