Julia vs. D?

It's not an implementation detail, it has consequences on the 
kind of code you are allowed to write, because it's not really a 
dynamic language.  After the JIT compilation it's "statically" 
typed, with some niceties like the type splitting you have seen 
with the x variable. In Julia you can't write all the programs 
you can write in Python. But in practice the limitations are not 
a problem for the scientific code, and the advantages are great.
