I have a hard time finding value in this. Mastering a language take years, so the tool better has some killer feature to make it worth the investment.

I can see why Go, if you want an easy to compiled yet middle level language with good concurrency.

I can see why erlang, if you want crazy concurrency, and reliability.

I can see why rust, if you want c/c++ power, with a modern touch and a safety net.

But what is the selling point in D ? Why should I choose D over those for a particular task, and take the time and energy on this on not something else ?

D only "competes" with rust in the list you gave, is what I was really trying to say. If you are working on something high-level enough to use erlang then I think you should. (I love erlang)
