Yeah I don't really understand that either. I have never written D myself but everyone I've looked at the language it has seemed to have sensible solutions to things and I would much rather write that than C++. I guess it hasn't as good interoperability with existing C++ as Carbon is aiming for (I don't think, could be wrong) and wouldn't give Google as much control of it as it probably will have over Carbon.
