I can confirm that in my current research activities I am using D almost exclusively for simulations, and barring objections from colleagues (which don't seem likely:-) the language will be cited in the resulting papers. Nice note: last week by chance I ran into a friend and former colleague from Switzerland, who I hadn't seen or been in touch with for years -- and one of the first things he said to me was, "I found you on the D programming forums, I've just started getting curious about using this language and I saw that you are really involved!" So, use and awareness of this language in the research community seems like it's growing. My current colleagues are C/C++/Python focused in general (and sometimes, FORTRAN) but they have certainly examined my D code with some curiosity.
