You can call into those same C libs using D. Only if you want a 
pure D solution do you need to be able to rewrite those libraries 
and get the same performance. D is a fine solution for the 
academic or the working statistician that is doing day-to-day 
analysis. The GC and runtime are not going to be an obstacle for 
most of them (and most won't even know anything about them).
