Eric Niebler, I thought he did a good job with his C++ Ranges 
translation of Teoh's calendar example.  Perhaps he has other 
thoughts on D.

Joe Duffy, he recently wrote a blog post on how the Midori 
research project at Microsoft explored some similar terrain as D:

Maybe one of the key Rust architects, as the outside keynote 
speakers so far have been C++ people, but the real competition 
for D right now appears to be Rust, at least in popular 
perception.
