Ultimately it depends on the task but I'm more way more productive writing D than python (assuming it's not just gluing libraries together in which case python obviously wins) because of the metaprogramming and that the basics are done well enough that I can actually trust the results without constantly staring at stdout second guesssing the semantics. Python isn't a particularly good force multiplier purely as a language these days. It was very wise to not go full OOP, so we are spared from the truly horrible, but python is basically C with lists and new syntax as most people use it.
