I use NumPy often for it's interactive capabilities. Plotting and exploring data at the Python prompt. That's hard to do with a compiled language. A static language like D cannot satisfy that kind of use-case easily. Maybe Sci-MiniD there? :-)
The D compiler is fast enough that this should be quite doable. On my 6 year old XP machine, compiling and linking a program a few lines long takes less than half a second.
