Also taking a look at C# and Scala will help (they aren't perfect, but

Scala is built by impractical computer scientists, D is a masterpiece
coming from the software engineering community. Is there really anything
worth learning from it? If you implement features that come from a
scientific language, laymen can't use D anymore or it becomes unusably
slow.
I've tried Scala and the language was too much different from C/C++/D to
be useful in real world programming:
def foo = 1 + 4 vs int foo() { return 1 + 4; }
val foo: String = "bar" vs string foo = "bar";
I don't see that much of a difference. You just got used to C family
languages, learn something new (Lisp, Haskel, Ruby, Erlang etc).
