Think again. Like Java, the JVM does not have pointer arithmetic, which means there is no straightforward way to write a D-to-JVM-bytecode compiler.
I know, you will say what D designed for run-time, as alternative to C++, but there is no problem to kill both rabbits - make it good alternative for Python, Lua, Java, C#, etc.
I don't think D has any chance of replacing Lua at this point. Lua can be used in combination with other languages very easily.
