Perhaps it's a good moment to remove the monitor pointer from D 
classes (as in a recent front-dmd patch).

(D didn't follow the borrowing/linear types ideas of Bartosz that 
were more primitive than Rust ones, but perhaps sufficient to 
fend off the Rust menace :-) ).

I do like Rust given its ML heritage, but Swift, modern C++ and 
.NET Native are bigger menaces to D.

The only languages that succeeded at mainstream adoption for 
systems programming are the ones that there is no way around them 
since they are the official OS languages.

D needs the sponsorship of an OS vendor to succeeded in the 
systems area.

But is Bartosz forgetting the Rust solution? The latest video 
linked in this newsgroup shows that Rust instead of going the way 
of functional data structures, it disallows the presence at the 
same time of reference sharing and mutability. So the mutability 
of data is not intrinsic, it's related to how many references you 
can have to it.
