You could program anything in D that would run in R and it would 
probably be faster (unless the R code is using some optimized 
C/C++ code already). The issue is that D libraries for data 
analysis aren't as developed and don't have as many people 
working on them as R. You might be more productive calling an R 
library than re-writing the same functionality in D.
