I think the answer to questions like this is often money. You 
need to hire someone to write the code that does this. In the 
world of research this means a grant to fund it. If you think 
there is real merit in the D programming language in your field, 
the best thing to do is to make the case in form of a grant 
application to pay a researcher to write the necessary code. This 
is what languages like R, Python, and Julia do. They are flush 
with cash because people write grant applications for PhD 
students and researchers to build libraries for those languages.
