We are using D for high performance computational biology -- I brought a Go dev and a python dev both onboard with minimal learning curve. Even the powerful template metaprogramming seemed really easy for the team to pick up. I believe this is because it really has a nice design (compared with, say, C++, which I would never, ever use in general bioinformatics unless team had specific past expertise)
