The arguments against D are pretty weak if I'm honest, but I
think it's important we understand what people think of D. I
can confirm this sentiment is fairly common in the industry.
Watch out for the little jab at Andrei :-P
I wonder where he got the idea that D isn't high performance...
Perhaps the fact that it has a GC?
He clarifies in the comments:
"D is not 'high-performance' the same way as C and C++ are not.
Systems is not the same as high-performance. Fortran always has
been more 'high-performance' than C/C++ as it doesn't have
pointer aliasing (think that C++ introduced restrict, which is
the bread and butter of a HPC language only in C++11, same for
threading, still no vector types...) for example. ISPC is a HPC
language or Julia, Fortran, even Numpy if you want, not D or C or
C++"
