Those programmers who are comfortable working in a GC-ed language will likely eschew D because D's GC is really not that great.
So someone working with Ruby is not going to want to work with D because of GC performance? I wonder what percentage of Ruby programmers have thought about garbage collection ever. I could see an argument that there are existing frameworks or some other reason to prefer another language, but it is highly unlikely that GC would be the reason that both C++ and Ruby programmers would not want to use D.
