I'm new to D, from what I read in Reddit these days, it's

I dislike GC but I dislike misleading much more!
It's really possible.
You can use malloc/free for manual memory management. For
example, Vibe.d use it, and it's really fast.
Wrong.
Vibe.d uses partial manual memory management but can't get rid
of GC completely (and it hurts in certain situations hard)
Yes, I know. I just wanted to say: "You can use malloc/free
functions to implement custom memory allocators". Sorry for
misunderstand.
You can disable automatic GC run and run GC manually:

Also, you can remove GC at all:

It is the very same misadvertising. No one cares about what you
can. D has inline assembly, you can possibly do anything. What
does matter and what people expect is doing something
conveniently. And D is not there right now.
Again, it can become much better with relatively few tweaks to
the compiler. But it is not _right now_ and that is the only
thing that does matter.
Yes, we need memory allocators. Do you know have we got any
progress here?
