Frankly speaking, C++ has sometimes too complicated syntax, which makes compilation of it a disaster for compiler. And, yes, D is simpler in that, more - it has a number of features which would fit well in C++. But also D has a number of disadvantages which make it no real opponent to C++ when we talk about maximizing efficiency and speed of code execution (to mention - GC makes D app behavour undetermined). You can read siscussion here:

So, I would vote for D, if it`s efficiency would be no worse than C++, but this isn`t so.
