This is good news for D! It lowers the bar for writing 64 bit D
code on Windows, and it also enables us to abandon support for
versions of VS prior to 2013.
Actually I think it makes the life harder to earn Windows
developers hearts for D, specially with .NET Native around the
corner (it will come in Windows 10).
Free Visual Studio + C#/F# + SIMD + .NET Native is a very
enticing proposal.
I would have a very hard time to convince any of our customers to
use D instead.
