The way I see it, there are depressingly few languages in the same category as D (that category being multi-paradigm languages that are realistically usable for systems programming). Thare's C/C++ (although, IMO C/C++ is a bit anachronistic these days), and then there's Google "Issue 9" (which is *highly* debatable as to whether it actually counts as meeting the above criteria), and then Cyclone and maybe a couple others like Vala that don't seem to be very mature ATM (at least compared to D anyay). And that's about it.
