No. The whole benefit of D is lost if you have to tweak
everything in complex way to get it run fast.
Define fast.
In some cases, if a naive call to a generic phobos function is as
fast as an equivalent python library function then i'd say that's
pretty good. Those python library functions are often
impressively fast.
