One possibility is to write the code in D, debug it, then recode the result in C 
to satisfy your customer.

(Don't dismiss this out of hand - I've seen this sort of thing done before. Back 
when I was programming hand-held LED games for Mattel (remember those?) the 
prototype was written for a 6502 single board computer that fit in a Samsonite 
briefcase. Once the gameplay and everything else was massaged to perfection, it 
was handed over to another group of engineers who translated it to work on the 4 
bit computer that drove the actual handheld device.)
