Considering one of the goals of the language is simplicity, I don't see how D has solved this problem.

  Because everyone else doesn't want to throw away the last 20 years of language design. Go's search for simplicity is seen as a solution looking for a problem in the language design communities.

    Go's search for simplicity is seen as a solution looking for a problem in the language design communities. But most programmers are not in language design communities. There is a big potential for a 'safer C' or a 'faster Python'. Yes, that's a simplification, but also how people will see Go.

      > 'faster Python' Why throw away Python's capabilities to execute it faster? Just make use of PyPy.

        PyPy is geometrically about halfway between CPython and Go, performance-wise.

          For the type of applications Google is showing off with Go, I doubt it matters.
