You probably should, as C++ is the de facto standard in the games industry, and the one area where D could shine above languages like C# or Java. You might even be able to get some funding from big companies like EA or others if you can convince them you're on the right track.
and one that's more important than e.g. general purpose programmers who need the like of working qualifiers, multithreading, and shared libraries.
And this is just as, if not more important, in the games industry as elsewhere. I do agree that a correct and full implementation of these features is more important than Walter getting distracted on a late-game feature request. Since Walter is gating pull requests, he should either prioritize them or delegate the responsibility.
