What do you have in mind? I no longer work much with Python so
my knowledge is limited, but calling D from R or Julia should
be no different from calling C from those languages, as you
normally compile your C code into a shared library anyway.
I've done the R->D thing many times and in the process have
worked with a big chunk of the R API. Things like allocating R
data structures from a D function, adding assertions to your D
code to allow for an easy exit when things don't work out, and
calling functions in the R math library, among other things,
are not difficult.
(I wonder how well cython works with interfacing with D via the
C++ interface, because that way you could extend python with D
classes and have them be faster than going through PyD).
This is a good idea. dtoh could speed up this workflow, see
