So was John von Neumann, :)

I probably wouldn't press the issue with them. D really isn't yet 
at a place for me to fully replace the stuff I could do in 
R/Matlab/Python. Maybe when this happens:

To me, the case for learning D is the same as if you find 
yourself learning to call C++ from one of those languages. If 
your code runs well enough without needing C++ (for whatever 
reason, speed, memory use, etc), it probably doesn't need D 
either. It's just more fun to write D than C++.
