I looked at the issues much differently. I read it hours ago, but here
are what I remember as big issues: * immature / incomplete libraries
* immature toolchain
* poor performance with common patterns * not widely adopted / hard to
teach
I think D shares all of these problems to differing degrees.
There's a good deal of activity on the D library front, but the toolchain
situation seems to be stuck.
The big deals as I see them, for ages, have been the flaky debugging and
inability to generate shared libraries in Linux, and the COFF/OMF divide
in Windows.

I agree. The shared library problem is blocked by DMD not being able to
correctly generate PIC. Lately it seems that mostly new bugs get
attention and the old once are almost forgotten.
