I like D as a language to learn more about lower-level domains. It tends to be (imho) easier to read than C code and there are lots of interesting projects going on over at dsource.org Some people seem to dislike the fact that there are the two standard libraries, but I think that just adds to making the learning curve less steep (i.e. you can choose whether you want a closer-to-the-metal or a more high level flavour of the language). Reading code written in different standard libraries in itself can also be quite illuminating.
