There are many languages that fit certain general descriptions, but that doesn't mean that the experience of using them will lead me to think they are at all comparable in terms of how well they help me solve the kind of problems I face. Go and Scala - I somehow dont think they are close substitutes for each other. The kind of person that likes D's generics will not be the kind that is ultra happy with Go. The kind that likes the short learning curve and plethora of network libraries in Go might not be thrilled by D early experience. It all depends.
