Just to be sure, you realize D is not a scripting language, don't 
you? This is a rather confused argument. First you say a 
scripting language would be perfect for this case (without any 
explanation of how it would be better than D) and then you list a 
bunch of objections that would be a valid response to someone 
doing this in a scripting language but not D.
