Hey.... I didn't really have an equivalent of transients in D,
it was more a general statement that there are cases where you
can still get functional purity using mutable state rather than
adhering to a strict functional approach.
So in much the same way as I 'cheat' slightly by using mutable
state in the system, clojure cheats in much the same way using
transients for intermediate calculations in an implementation
provided that the interface is pure.
I didn't elaborate too much during the talk as *NO-ONE* nodded
to say they new clojure so moved swiftly on :-)

Okay, thanks for the reply.
