So the delete keyword has been deprecated - so good bye manual memory management...
Um, no. Use destroy() from the object module instead. To free memory from the GC, use core.memory.GC.free().
I have read in some threads that delete is an unsafe operation. What does this exactly mean? What is unsafe about it? What does it have to do with the GC? (if there was no garbage collection, would it be unsafe?)
