You speak like someone who's read the spec, but doesn't actually
use the product. If you can put your theoretical mind on hold for
a few days and actually immerse yourself in the language and its
idioms for practical use*, you'd see that D has a large
feature-overlap with to up-to-date C++, but often feels very
different in practice. Maybe take some of the time you spend
writing theoretically motivated forum posts and turn it in to
some practical experience?
P.S. forgive me if I'm wrong and you have done a bunch of serious
coding in D, it just seemed unlikely seeing as you never seem to
make specific practical complaints with example code, it's always
an overarching principle or grand direction problem.
