A friend (C# dev) just refused a job from a company in the Netherlands, for a D dev position. I don't know if it's the same company.
It's not that they're not capable, but some will not want to risk several years of their career to learn it.

(that may not be entirely fair, i guess i just tend to be skeptical of people who get hung up on languages.)
It’s a legit concern.
I could see a C++ dev giving this a try without hurting their career prospects, but C# devs are not exactly known for trying out non-mainstream technologies. If they switch for a couple of years MS will pump out a couple of frameworks and .NET programming languages. Fire and motion as such.
