Well, there are lots of Geometry Wars clones in XNA and LibGDX.
The point is more this: the majority of interactive
applications you can do easily in Java/C#/Swift/Javascript are
going to be written in those languages for _very_ good reasons.
I would too.
If desktop applications are a target then you need a feature
set that makes it easier to write those applications that are
difficult to do well in Java/C#/Swift/Javascript.
That makes you an attractive platform for new application
frameworks.
An attractive platform is which gets the job done, not the best
one, which doesn't actually exist (if it existed, there wouldn't
be a list of options). And it's not like D has nothing to show,
one must consider requirements for his task to decide which tool
to choose and there's no single answer that suits everyone.
