Also I don't think that we can create a GC which performs as good as

We don't necessarily need that, though. In D we have a plethora of
non-GC options, so it might be a better idea to tailor our GC to typical
D programs rather than trying to reproduce the Java and C# collectors.
For example, from a generational GC perspective, I don't think the young
generation is significant in idiomatic D code, unlike Java code which
relies on it heavily.
You should really try to write non-GC D code some time. You would be
astonished how many hidden allocations there are.
