I think the 'real' problem, is that some core D people just

For what reason, I cannot fathom, since Swift can do this just
fine. I think it's some kind of bias against a particular
style of programming that some don't want to see occuring when
people use the D programming lanuguage. i.e. It has nothing at
all to do with implementation, since it's already been
demonstrated that it can be implemented, very easily.
Again, in this particular area, Swift is way ahead of D.
Sorry, but I do not believe Swift is near to the level of what
D is, it's a language that's tied - like jail - to Apple's
ecosystem, and its only real use is for iOS apps. They're two
completely different languages in general.
That's not entirely correct.
I don't use any Apple hardware products. Never have, and never
will.
I use Swift on Linux only.
There are of course some library features of Swift tied to Apple
products. But I have no need for those library features.
As a standalone language, Swift can (IMO) already out compete D.
