D was overhauled a few years ago, and the result is quite interesting. I don't think D is a failed design, but that it was "just" an incremental improvement. That incremental improvement was in many different areas, but it didn't allow introduce fundamentally new ways to program. If you haven't seen the newest version of D, though, it's worth looking at. But I agree that Rust gives me more hope. Rust's treatment of memory seems like it's obviously the best way to do manual but safe memory management.
