He clarifies in the comments:

"D is not 'high-performance' the same way as C and C++ are not. 
Systems is not the same as high-performance. Fortran always has 
been more 'high-performance' than C/C++ as it doesn't have 
pointer aliasing (think that C++ introduced restrict, which is 
the bread and butter of a HPC language only in C++11, same for 
threading, still no vector types...) for example. ISPC is a HPC 
language or Julia, Fortran, even Numpy if you want, not D or C or 
C++"
