Hashing isn't type-dependent. You can't really do it well in C
with things like extensible physics and sound synthesis.
People write core libraries in C++. Why they do it is not the
main point, but they actually have good reasons to choose C++
over C no matter what C-wizzkids with C++-allergies claim…

yes. the main reason is "let's prevent using our library in any
sane language!"
Nah, it's more like "let's solve this in a language where this
can be done in a convenient manner and will be used by many
people".
As for D... I'm not really sure if D can get good C++ interop
without changing language semantics. A 75% solution isn't really
good enough to cover libraries that rely heavily on template
composition.
