Oh of course. Examples *have* to be provided in python, since that's the default language of science these days. But extra examples don't hurt, and it would be nice to see D along side other options. I find these days that my D "scripts" are about the same size as my python scripts, which is really surprising for a compiled language.
I just tried ggplotd and it was easy to make it work on Linux, only one external apt command needed, but on Windows, even that is a deal breaker. Package management on Windows seems to be wild-west/nonexistent.
Side musing... Since I've seen many people use anaconda on Windows, I wonder how hard it would be to make a conda package that provided dmd+dub?
