You should check the beams in your eyes before talking about the motes in others. Did you see this recent post?
"I don't think porting any game to D is a good idea right now. I've did some major game developement on D. Half my code uses manual memory management and still the D garbage collector is a major performance issue. Unless you want to do all of the memory management yourself, which pretty much results in not using phobos and most of the cool features in D I wouldn't recommend porting a bigger game to D."
The JVM garbage collector is miles ahead of D's. I think it's pitiful that a language that aims to be a C++ replacement has been an utter failure in the gaming area, the one area where C++ has reigned supreme.
