is D worth learning?

The D programming language... is it worth taking my time off my current projects to learn?

I've actually found one independenet game programmer who uses D -- source code included with this halfpipe shooter called Torus Trooper is written entirely in D.

But will this language ever really take off enough to warrant learning it?  There aren't even any books on it, and that may be a bit of a handicap in really getting mentally "into" it.

You missed my point, >>10. I know all that (and said as much), so I don't know why you need to tell me these things again. It's all great and wonderful, yet it doesn't make the language clean.

Let me repeat: everything in Perl has a reason too, but that doesn't make it pretty. Think about it.
