A lot of people working with C/C++ I know are looking forward to Rust, but the problem is that currently it's nowhere near as mature and widespread as former languages. I hope that will change in the near future as it looks like promising system language.

Why wait for Rust when D is already there?

Honestly, I haven't tried D, but if it hadn't got traction in 14 years, I'd say it was a miss. It's not enough to be a good language -- documentation, tools, libraries, community, adoption in open source projects is, arguably, even more important.
