What I perceived: language should state on those several

tools should get some maturity (the .so thing for one).
For example: the .so thing was critical for what we had in mind
at that time: write MEX files for Matlab. Those MEX files are
nothing else than some dynamic libraries that expose a particular
function mexFunction() that is recognized by Matlab. They can
speed up scientific computation in Matlab, by coding number
crunching in that dynamic library.
More: the DLL itself is opaque. No customer cared in what
language we did implement the DLLs.
But we were not able to pick D for that task. You know why.
