To cut to the chase, what are the biggest issues/
showstoppers/etc that stand in the way for D to attract
a prime-time audience?
Everyone is going to have his pet issue. Here's mine:
<http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4621>
In a language that claims to be good a concurrency and wall you from
race conditions, the current destructor design seriously doesn't cut
it. Not only can it easily let slip low-level races and GC-memory
deallocation races (important for @safe mode), such races already have
slipped by and are laying unfixed in Phobos:

Since a fix to the destructor design is going to break some
previously-written destructors somewhere, it's is important that it be
fixed sooner rather than later.
