I looked into it a few years ago and used it for a couple of hobby projects. I really liked it but I was never going to be able to persuade my company to use it unless it became more popular.

Rust is trying to solve the same problem of being both safe and as performant as C/C++. Although it came along later than D it seems to have been much more successful in gaining traction, most likely because it had the backing of Mozilla.

It is not a very straightfoward task.

I'd well believe it. I used to write computer vision applications for semiconductor manufacturing equipment and there we were able to strictly control the distance from camera to object, lighting etc. and even still getting necessary reliability was not simple. When a failure could lead to damaging a whole wafer, i.e. hundreds of thousands of dollars, 99% accurate is not good enough.
