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.

I'm sorry noob but there is a reason we don't write scientific applications in D but in C++, and a kiddy language shootout won't change my mind about what happens on a cluster of multi-proc machines. D sucks and is not worth it for me, even if the syntax is simpler, it's a very small improvement for all the problems I would have with D.
