To me, D's compile-time features like templates, code generation, etc. are some of its most important features. Lacking those and exceptions and many other useful bits, Go cannot compare to D. (I finally can claim experience on both languages after having coded Go for about a month.)

I think the point is that D targets the same set of scenarios as Go, but it's better at it for all the reasons that you've listed.
