I think that many D powerful features are also easily done in 
Python or have easy to use equivalents, thanks to built-in 
dictionaries, list comprehensions, eval, etc. and so many 
available libraries. Albeit at the price of a sloooow execution 
comparing to D (unless you can utilize native extensions).
