You can call into those same C libs using D. Only if you want a
pure D solution do you need to be able to rewrite those libraries
and get the same performance. D is a fine solution for the
academic or the working statistician that is doing day-to-day
analysis. The GC and runtime are not going to be an obstacle for
most of them (and most won't even know anything about them).
