I don't know about Go, but I use D for "scripting," a lot. (Go 
rdmd!) Both D and Python can be described as general-purpose 
languages. (Hell, D's landing page advertises it as such.) And a 
good general-purpose language, for me, is one that gives a nice, 
stable stdlib that allows you to build your initial solution 
without having to worry about dependencies. In fact, I wish D's 
stdlib was bigger! Ms. Brown has ostensibly lost sight of this.
