I think you could add screenshots and links to D IDE's like VisualD/DDT/XCode, IDEs are one of the first things any newbie posts about and it should be one of the first things they see listed on the website. I don't like this: "Concurrency seems difficult? Fear no more. D offers an innovative approach featuring true immutable data, no sharing by default, and controlled mutable sharing across threads." You start advertising how simple concurrency is and then go into unnecessary detail that people unfamiliar with concurrency techniques will be confused with. I'd rewrite it to: "D is multicore-ready. It's flagship message-passing technology will make your programs efficient, correct, and scale to the multicore hardware of tomorrow." You could put a "Read more" link to some page that describes the other techniques like using shared/gshared/etc. I'd replace "To contribute" with "Join the dev team" or "Open to Contributions", or something invitational like that. Last point, there should really be a "Download now" or "Get it now" or "Try it out!" button somewhere. Almost every programming language website has a nice graphical download link that's easily spotted.
