Just ran across this: http://www.zimbu.org/ A language by Bram Moolenaar (original author and maintainer of vim). The "Why Zimbu?" section on the right side of the homepage has comparisons to other languages. D is the last comparison, suggesting that it meets all the other qualifications but fails on "It has to run on most systems, anything with a C compiler, so D is out."
Note: I'm fine with D not running absolutely everywhere, I only write it on linux for linux.
