Time will tell, but I believe ranges may be one of the most significant innovations of D. It makes writing generic algorithms possible, and even pleasant, and inches us closer to the ideal of perfect code reuse than ever before.
While not unique to D, I believe that ranges will become a killer feature - killer enough that languages that don't support pipeline programming will start looking like propeller driven airliners.
We still have a ways to go yet - Phobos support for ranges is not ubiquitous - but ranges are the future.
