Yeah, I'm wondering if that's just a basic truth for embedded. Can D implement a ref-counting GC? That would probably still be okay, since collection is immediate. Modern consoles and portables have plenty of memory; can use a GC, but simpler/embedded platforms probably just can't. An alternative solution still needs to be offered for that sort of hardware.
