What are you doing with Rcpp that you can't do with D?
Sorry I'll correct myself again! Because R is a dynamic
programming language, you could do things that you could not do
in D, however they would be very inefficient.
hyper-meta-programming takes this barrier away.
I meant use a combination of R + D rather than R + C++. Any
bottlenecks can be handled in D as easily as C++. However, if you
want to go beyond what you can do with Rcpp, it's a different
story.
