I think one of the great things about Rails and Ruby is all the libraries and plugins that are available. If I want to do something, in RoR there's a big chance there's already a library for that. In D, there's a big chance I need to implement it myself.
this has been the fundamental issue for me. its not just missing libs, its libs that are surfaced via a C-binding, which in my limited experience have been difficult to use and make portability hard.
I think D is a superior language to Go, but Go has a very complete SDK and its all written in Go, so I don't have to worry about chasing down native libs to install.
