Timon Gehr:

What do you think would be the corresponding idiomatic/fast D 
code? Does it outperform the Haskell code?

Look in RosettaCode for various implementations in D:
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Hamming_numbers#D

A good part of the performance difference is caused by the D GC 
and the fact that Haskell GHC uses a the GNU multiprecision libs 
for its bigsint. In the meantime we have to maintain, optimize 
and debug our bigint implementation, wasting time better spent 
elsewhere.
