Hashing isn't type-dependent. You can't really do it well in C 
with things like extensible physics and sound synthesis.

Nah, it's more like "let's solve this in a language where this 
can be done in a convenient manner and will be used by many 
people".

As for D... I'm not really sure if D can get good C++ interop 
without changing language semantics. A 75% solution isn't really 
good enough to cover libraries that rely heavily on template 
composition.
