I'd like to add that one of the things that I love about Go is that it is crazy easy to cross-compile. `GOOS=freebsd go build` and I have a FreeBSD binary sitting in my working directory, ready to send off.
Things I really like about D though are the UFC makes for really pleasant method chaining and cleaner code (along with map/filter/reduce for things), code reuse as you pointed out, and Dub being an actual package manager that seems to have common issues with dependency management solved. At least with my limited experience with D I haven't run into any Dub-related issues.
I'd like to toss in that D's lack of solid and stable `io` APIs in phobos is kind of sad and resulted in one of my recent projects being rewritten in Go.
