Just because improvements on density is slowing down does not 
mean that hardware won't change.

D may need to be focus more on SIMD and GPU/coprocessor 
processing to keep up.

What good is there in running fast non-SIMD cpu code if "slower" 
high level languages autogenerate SIMD/GPU code on the fly using 
JIT compilation?
