My experiences with D recently have not been fun.
The language itself has a top notch feature rich set. The
implementation, excluding bugs, feels a bit boxy and old
school. .NET has a unified approach and everything seems to fit
together nicely and feels consistent. The abomination of dmd,
though, is it's error messages. Most of them are meaningless
and you have to dive down 2 or 3 levels of assumptions to
figure out what they mean. It's not too bad but because of the
poor tool set it makes it difficult to debug apps.

I got many *many* years experience of .NET, and I find C# as a
quite nice language. I like the Interface construct (and many
more things). I tried mono, and find it a very interesting
project, but it also has lots of stuff unimplemented and some of
the stuff can't be done (Windows specific), since Xamarian
targets multiple platforms with their .NET version.
But go ahead! :-)
