I wouldn't compare a WIP borrow checker, just added some months ago, against Rust.
However, where it's the bigger and unique thing that D haves. Fast and very powerful metaprogramming. Can do things like parsing a XML or JSON at COMPILE TIME and generate code. No body catches how powerful is this ? For example, imagine parsing a gtk-build /glade XML and generating the GUI code at compile time, instead parsing it at runtime.
