With D it is unnecessary to build projects out of multiple languages, as D supports conventional C type programming, template metaprogramming, OOP, and functional style. (It even has an inline assembler for metal style!)

Each of those paradigms has its place, and I enjoy being able to mix and match them as appropriate in the same program.

You can even use opDispatch to generate methods or values of a class at compile time based on the name, Python __getitem__/JavaScript Proxy/Ruby style.

That kind of sounds like a worse Common Lisp.
