Well, but the hoops are there to get safe and fast GC.

possibilities with relatively easier syntax + semantics.
Not incredibly high level abstraction... But I get what you mean.
It is fairly high level for a low level language.
- Having GC (but not a horribly slow one)
So you want this to be worked on (as D has a horribly slow one)?
- Not bound to a specific platform (unlike C#, easier to do
cross-platform work in many cases)
Doesn't C# work just as well as D (or better) with most platforms?
