That's not exactly a post. Pyd works well enough, it's easy to use and requires very little extra code for the interface, I've used it several times. But it's designed for D, not for C/C++, so in some situations it can be useless. For C/C+ + you can find any kind of lib to wrap with Swig/ SIP/ Boost Python/ Cython/ etc, but you can't find much for D yet. And the D community is very small, so there's just 1 person that updates Pyd, so updates are slow, support limited (but it exists, on the #D IRC channel) and so on. D surely isn't as complex as C++, and it's way nicer, but it's not simple either, so learning it may require some time. Another thing to think about is that C code sometimes may be even two times faster than D code, so if max speed is essential, then D may not be the best choice.
