I think that's probably part of it. It can do nearly anything.

Subjectively, because D is the language that annoys me the least. 
Objectively, because I write less code with fewer bugs that does 
a lot more. In what other language can I write a dub package* 
that autowraps D code so it can be called in Excel and/or Python 
in two lines, one of which is an import??
