D is absolutely a viable alternative to C++ and probably C. There's no argument there. D is not a viable threat to C/C++ (this is what I said!), as noone is really thinking that D will actively displace the use of C/C++ in many projects in the future. The same goes for all the other languages I mention. In my perception there's a buzz around Rust that indicates it might be viewed differently.
