Re: move semantics and unique_ptr in D, take a quick peek at std.typecons (unique, refCounted) and std.algorithm.mutation.move. I haven't used them, and they are library code (and so not as well specified as C++'s counterparts), but you might find them useful. There's been good progress on the @nogc front in the standard library, too, hoping to see continuing improvements there. - http://dlang.org/phobos/std_typecons.html http://dlang.org/phobos/std_typecons.html - http://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm_mutation.html#.move http://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm_mutation.html#.move My personal worry with D is that the language changes a bit faster than, say, C++ or Rust. I don't know how whether the code I write today will still compile in five years. I wouldn't mind a feature freeze on the language design and the existing stdlib APIs.
