You would have to asess if the analysis you should create is
time critical. If it is, a possible pitfall is the GC, and you
should try to avoid it from the start. Replacing the GC with
custom memory management is a lot of work if you do it
afterwards. If the analysis is not time critical, I don't see
any problems with D.

My guess is it's not a major factor, but maybe can design from
beginning possibility to use custom allocators. Ie the part
where latency matters does not deal with monster data sizes, and
if there is a part where data sizes are large then probably
latency will be less critical. (Outside of HFT, big for this
area is much smaller than what other people mean by big).
