D integrates quite easily with R. I speak from experience, regularly using the two together. You can embed R inside your D program and pass data trivially between them. The technical side is not an issue. Distribution is not an issue - it is the same as any D program calling into a C library. All the other stuff (support for three OSes, documentation, etc.) takes a lot of time and is no fun.
Research people would love this, but only if it's a production-ready solution that needs no extra time investment.
Yep. And if nobody wants to do the work, it will never happen. I originally did it as a fun way to pass the time while waiting for my son at his many events. I may have been the only one in the world with that particular set of circumstances though. You'll probably be waiting a long time for that production-ready solution that needs no extra time investment.
