Oh not again the GC argument.

D is the one true C++ without pretending being a superset of C. Rust is more modern than C++ and better in programming in the large. But D is really for low level programming and a good target for code generation. For me it is a good replacement for C++ and Delphi. It is even a good fit for areas touched by Java and C# like desktop and scientific apps. But it is not there yet because of lack of serious tooling and lack of bytecode but for the second disadvantage you earn performance. Nimrod for example could address this (with D as a code generation target).
