From the PoV of small game developer relying its livelihood on C++ I must say that this is great thing. If I had better support for 2 things now: C++ interop so we could just start writing new code in D and ARM/iOS then we would just move immediately.
Is that all it would take? Do you also need a GC-free standard library, which seems to be the need of all the others saying "do this and I'll switch from C++"? Are the tools good enough?
I don't think anyone is saying C++ interop is unimportant. There are a lot of us already using the language and we don't think C++ interop is the only thing that has value. More important IMO would be releasing a compiler without a bunch of regressions. D is a lot more than a C++ replacement for Facebook or video game developers.
