Not sure about that... haven't thought too much about it

More acceptance
A real and complete IDE
More compilers (that'd mean competition, which is always good...)

One integrated into GCC would be nice.

- A cleaned-up syntax that has no baggage or special cases.  No support for double-syntaxes (C-style function pointers and arrays).  Struct constructors and destructors (with clearer rules than C++), and consequently the removal of the RTTI hack.  Support for struct inheritance.  No special case handling of constructors; removing the "super ()" special case which should be "super.this ()"; their inheritance should be the same as any other method; and "new Object;" should not be valid.  Bracketing with special methods should be consistent; either you need parentheses "~this ()" or you don't "unittest".  None of this half-and-half.

- A useable template syntax that is integrated into the language as full-blown genericism, rather than appearing, like C++, to be attached on top of it.  In particular, it must be better suited for generic arguments to methods than either C++ or D are.

- A modern and platform-isomorphic link and installation system that has no difference between static and shared binaries (either in writing, in compiling, or in using them), doesn't penalise casual computer users, and uses a single shared library format if possible, without affecting integration with C.

I don't really have a definite agenda.
Lots of projects started few finished.

> 7) Top Three Wishes for D?

1. Continued expansion of it's generics capability
2. Interator/Generator support
3. A good garbage collector

And of course wide spread acceptance

    - fixing "bool is bit"

    - fixing "string is array"

    - fixing the property namespace "fun":

        struct C {
         // int size;
        }

        void main(char[][] arg) {
         C c;
         c.size = 99;
         printf ("%d", c.size);
        }
