 D is still useful for quick scripting.


Useful maybe, but for quick scripting for me it's not quick enough nor flexible
enough nor many other things, compared to Python :-) They are too much
different. 
Have you tried to practically use Phobos RegularExpressions compared to their
usage in Ruby?

Here I have listed few differences (mostly regarding the bug production, that
is an important thing to increase programming speed. In that list I have
forgotten few things, like that it essentially avoids the large class of
integer overflow-related bugs):

I think trying to do everything with D is silly.
