Another things where I do almost all my mistakes is: array bounding/calling the memory which was free => the result is undefined behavior. If I remember correctly the D is better with that respect?
I think slices and automatic bound checking is the most important improvement of D over C. An important concern in simulations (mentioned by one using D in bioinformatics) is correctness: if you have a bug, the program is not guaranteed to crash, it can just give an incorrect result.
Anyway, super easy way to use all C libraries + super active support would clearly help to increase D popularity/adoption. All other point I raised are perhaps not that important.
I'm not as optimistic about binding C libraries as others :) I think it requires skills.
