I am using D to develop a system for rational drug design. The 
main application for D is for protein 3D structure prediction and 
statistical analysis using Differential Geometry and Knot Theory.

the job.

After using FORTRAN, C/C++ and Java for structural 
bioinformatics, I think D is the best language so far for 
programming those types of tools.
