I've spent a few years in the trenches so here are a few
additional
points that come to mind.. (+1 for John and Rikki's points BTW).

- am I right in thinking C++ integration more or less works, except
instantiating C++ templates from D? what are the gotchas?
C++ integration can be made to work, as in data can be passed back and forth
The best case scenario has happened at least once before in a
similarly-based company.
Hi Iain.
What's best way to reach you by email for quick follow-up on this
(if you would not mind - no hurry)?
- what are potential factors that might make D a bad choice in this
scenario? I would like to use D certainly - but it is of course much
more important that the client gets the best result, however it is done.
You would have to asess if the analysis you should create is time
critical. If
John Colvin:
A couple of big pluses:
1) Ease of changing code. D codebases tend to feel more
flexible than C++
Thank you - and yes, I agree.
2) Easy to transparently make use of highly optimised low-level
code in high level constructs, whether that means carefully
written D, inline asm

I lead a group that uses D pretty much 100% for a number of different

I don't enough about investment banking analytics to know exactly what
they value.
