It is true that in some cases the lack of speed hurts. But if the coice is about not being able to do this array operations at all. I think it is an acceptable tradeof that the people that need optimal speed write there code in a more uncompressed formm using manual loops or wathewer. Then the cases not on the criitical path of the program can be written more compactly using a slightly slower but much faster to write style. I also think this would hur D less than matlab as it is more obvoius what is slow in D than in matlab because D is a systems programing language.
