 | The University of Queensland's Centre for Hypersonics has a gas dynamics toolkit that, since 1994, has evolved from C, to C++, and now to D. Peter Jacobs, Rowan Gallon, and Kyle Damm wrote a little about it for the D Blog. The blog: Reddit: | |||

More evidence that people who are not high-performance developers can approach D and find it a good fit! -Steve | |||

No incompatibility there: "better than C++" is a very low bar.

It all depends on what you use. But C++ is a low bar ;) -Steve | |||

They use D for hydrodynamics software because (among other reasons) it's approachable enough for naval engineers. Now it's revealed that D is used for aerodynamic software because it's approachable enough for aeronautical engineers. Might it have anything to do with that D is designed by one? | |||
