Yeah, I got the point, but to be absolutely honest, I (>20 years of C coding) do not like GC as such. I believe manual free() is not that 'hard'. And one must still release other resources. (in C I write just close(fd), in D I write client.destroy() - in both cases I have to do this manually, if that fd was obtained in absolutely another scope) Yes, I know, I can do without GC in D, just did not tried yet (started learning D two months ago or so) And again - I've chosen D (not Rust), because 'borrow checker' and especially 'explicit lifetimes' is a nightmare :) - i would rather accept GC.
