D is still ahead of the pack in terms of features.
I always think of Jurassic Park, when the D community talks of
features. Specifically Jeff Goldblum's line of "Your scientist
were so concerned if they could, they didn't stop to think if
they should". D has pretty much most of the features present
in every programming language. I'm not sure if that is a
positive or negative personally.
How about doing a collaborative poll and giving Andrei and
Walter some feedback (backed with "some" number)?
This time I found a platform that allows everyone to add new
answers and select from the existing ones:

Happy voting!

One thing I mentioned in another post is the documentation is
lacking...particularly parts don't work and the examples are
rather chaotic.
As I dig into the language further (for some reason I haven't
determined why yet) I also find that the standard library is has
big giant holes. Particularly in the graphics department, which
pretty much was a deal killer for my project I was gonna try
using D with. But also it seems to be missing formal data
structures that it should have. Deques, Queues, Stacks, etc. Also
no formal official http support is also a bummer...
I would dismiss this as "growing pains for a new language" then
you find out D is almost 20 years old O.o
