Nope, it is based on production code life experience and seeing everything crumble with high CPU usage for little work being delivered.
Any programming language without a JIT or AOT as part of their default toolchain is not worth using for anything besides scripting.

Given how old Extended Pascal compilers are and that D has three backends, two of them based on GCC and LLVM respectively, I pretty much doubt it.
