Though when it comes to open source bioinformatics projects,
Perl and Python have a large foothold
among most most bioinformaticians. Most utilities that require
speed are often written in C and C++ (BLAST, HMMER, SAMTOOLS
etc).
I think D stands a good chance as a language of choice for
bioinformatics projects.

Yes on the server side and UNIX based research.
However, I have learned in the last years that Windows based
systems are also used a lot, specially in controlling robots and
doing the first processing steps and visualization.
At least in commercial research.
