So, about D vs C++ there... last night for reasons I forget I tried replacing std::string with const char* in the C++ version, and then it got faster than D. I don't know why.
At first I thought std::string was being copied instead of being moved, but some static_asserts made me doubt that. Either way, there's no good reason I can think of for C++ to magically speed up for const char*. Hmm :(
