Just a thought:
2. Converting C++ programmers is a good recruitment strategy.
4. When C++17 is released, current C++ programmers will go "I was ready to leave C++ If not, what is the strategy behind focusing on interfacing with C++? (Evaluated in relation to the C++17 release.)
I think, you see it at wrong angle. Yes, I am C++ programmer, and I love it, and I anticipate C++17 coming. And I also like D, and hope it eventually be another language I will be as fluent as I'm in C++ now, but I'm no way going to be "converted". If you are going to recruit those who about to abandon C++, you will have the worst part. Memory management review in D is a bright idea, and challenging project, it might be a dream project for some, so wouldn't it be better spoken as "attracting" C++ people instead of "converting" them? Sure, you will get much more enthusiasm talking about it this way. I believe, D and C++ are sibling languages and opposing them is kind of counterproductive.
