No; you have D for that.

EDIT: Seriously, for the grumpy down voter: I've seen quite a few programmers write that they use D even for things that are normally considered as scripting tasks.

As to scripting in D: I don't write a lot of D code anymore, but thanks to snappy compile speeds and the 'rdmd' compiler driver (which automatically tracks dependencies), it really does have a sweet spot for writing little programs where you'd like the benefits of 'scripting languages' (no makefile hassle, short edit-run cycles) but need just a bit more runtime performance.
