This is a very interesting thread that you started. Could you
flesh it out more with some example C++ that you'd like

Well, right away people jumped to high-frequency trading.
Although that may be the most visible area in computational
finance - it's not the only one. There are areas where
performance is crucial, but where trading is done at a lower
frequency (where latency is not the main issue).
I apologize for that. HFT has been a driver of a lot of business
and attention. Of course you are right about areas with less
latency sensitivity and D is attractive there. Even in latency
sensitive efforts I think could be D attractive for new efforts
providing some of the memory management efforts continue to
evolve. My main point was selling it would be tough.
Thanks
