This is getting very off topic. Apple has always had a lock-in 
strategy where they try to get developers to create "iOS only 
apps" and "iOS first apps". This is a political game, not a 
technical one. They did the same with the GPU API Metal.

You can control a 2D UI from a scripting language or from D, but 
there will be no noticeable performance difference on modern 
hardware. Both approaches are equally valid.
