Based on:

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/Slow_performance_compared_to_C_ideas_199429.html

and the belief that c++ is used a lot in Quant. Finance,
at least according to:

http://www.datasimfinancial.com/

which says:

C++ is a standard in Quantitative Finance

I'm wondering why your company is using D?
Please no flame wars.  I'm pretty experienced with c++
and only dabbled with D, but I'd really like to know
if D is appropriate for intensive numerical calculations.
OTOH, maybe Justin's company does not do heavy numerics.
