Most programmers are able to see that's very false, today.

The main and maybe only advantage of D over C# is that it's multi-platform. But 
today the Web is very important, and D can't be used in browers.

I think that if D wants a chance to not die as many other C-inspired languages 
have done in past, Walter needs lot of perseverance and to keep slowly 
improving D for 8-10 more years. When D will be "good enough" maybe some people 
will start to use it. But the implementation of D2 is currently far from that 
point.
