I would love to see this. A project to use the functionality of 
Python, R, and Julia from inside a D program with little effort. 
William Stein did something like that with SageMath, but from a 
different angle. I can say the R part is simple. (Not only the 
parts written in R, but any underlying C, C++, or Fortran code 
with R bindings as well.) I wouldn't expect it to be much harder 
for the other languages, but since I don't work with them, I 
can't say. The advantage of D would be the new functionality you 
write in D on top of the existing functionality in those 
languages.
