I leave this question to other people.

Recently another person has tried to implement expression templates in D2 for numerical coding, but I think he has found a small problem, that probably will be fixed.

Time ago the main D developer has thought about adding some kind of AST macros to D2, that can probably simplify a lot the implementation of expression optimizations. I don't know if it will be ever be added, they introduce a good amount of complexity to the language. And it's not for D2 anyway, because there is enough eggplant roasting on the D2 fire now, and it's not cooked yet on both sides, so in the meantime you can try to use expression templates.
