I'm sure these people exist but they're the exception rather than the rule. The two biggest industries in SG14, the C++ low latency study group, are games and HFT. In both these areas, D penetration is pretty much zero. And in HFT at least while many features would be nice (especially reflection), I can't imagine it would be anything but a performance hit. Just the fact that the best D implementation for performance is llvm based, and most people do not find that llvm produces assembly as good as gcc or icc, is already an instant global hit.
