I'm not sure it's so good for D. Some of the comments here... http://www.winsupersite.com/blog/supersite-blog-39/windows8/winrt-replacing-win32-140605 ...seem to suggest that HTML/JS/etc apps will have roughly the same speed as native C++ apps. If that's true, then it can only mean that Win8 severely gimps the performance of natively-compiled apps. It's not as if they've found some magic technology to install a native-JS-executing CPU into your computer. Of course, this is all getting *very* speculative at this point.
