As long as D *could* be used (ie, I had my choice of language, and there was no requirement of ARM, JVM, in-browser scripting/applet, or shared hosting without native-compiled custom CGI support, etc), then the more critical the project was, and the more money involved, the more I would *insist* on using D.
