I work with NLP almost all the time and D is very well suited for 
it. It's mainly text-to-speech stuff, but I have a tiny POS 
tagger (or rather POS identifier) as well.

D would be well suited for creating higher, simpler rule 
languages that linguists who have no clue about programming could 
easily use. I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I 
wish I had the time to come up with something and implement it. 
I'm thinking of a suite that would cater for the various aspects 
of NLP, e.g. phonemic transcriptions, POS tagging, morphological 
and grammatical analysis, collocation etc. A one stop shop for 
linguists. But, alas, time is scarce.

If you have any ideas, please share.
