If you support NumPy well and efficiently through Pyd, I think 
some people will start using the D language just for this :-)

NumPy is good but it usually forces you to program vectorially, 
like Matlab. Sometimes this is not nice, so people write some 
routines in Fortran, C, etc. With Pyd some scientific programmers 
maybe will want to use D instead.
