So, while the fact that D's GC is less than stellar is

the number of performance problems that we get.

What D needs is some way for a static analyzer to be certain that 
a pointer does not point to a specific GC heap. And that means 
language changes... one way or the other.

Without language changes it becomes very difficult to reduce the 
amount of memory scanned without sacrificing memory safety.

And I don't think a concurrent GC is realistic given the 
complexity and performance penalties. The same people who 
complain about GC would not accept performance hits on 
pointer-writes. That would essentially make D and Go too similar 
IMO.
