3rd party libraries are usually the real problem if there is one. They need to be maintained, and if something happens that breaks them from one release to another, that can prevent you from upgrading until it's fixed - which may or may not be quick even if they're maintained. And if they're not maintained, well, then that's a serious problem. Now, that would be a big problem in pretty much any language, but the greater rate of change in D does make it worse than it would be in languages that change at a much more glacial pace. - Jonathan M Davis
