Right, there are many potential new D programmers coming from Java that may want to use that style that relies a lot on an efficient GC. But you are missing another important style of programming that allocates & frees tons of objects: functional-style programming, where immutable data is the norm. If the D2 language will want to appeal to functional programmers it will have to manage such immutables more efficiently. Bye, bearophile
