Interesting. Two points suggest that you should use D only for 
serious programming:

"cases where you want to write quick one-off scripts that need to 
use a bunch of different libraries not yet available in D and 
where it doesn't make sense to wrap or port them" - quick and 
dirty

"where you have many inexperienced programmers and they need to 
be productive very quickly." - quick and awkward

[what does this tell us about financial programming ...]

This reason is true of any other language:

"where you have a lot of code in another language (especially non 
C, non Python) and defining an interface is not so easy;"

In fact, the reasons you give (apart from the point about GUI) 
are true of C++, C#, Java etc. too. It's a bit generic. I was 
thinking of D specific reasons like lack of support for mobile 
platforms (not 100% yet). So your average stock broker couldn't 
calculate some bogus numbers on his iPad while having a latte and 
a Pelegrino in a posh cafe off Wallstreet. He he he.

GC and lack of mobile are real reasons not to use D.
