If your language does not have the C / C++ *semantics* of new /
delete,
C doesn't have new/delete.
or, better yet, owned pointers in Rust that automatically
free their memory when they go out of scope, but instead forces

GC down your throat for some of the most basic array
You can do C style array/pointer fiddling in D without the GC.
You can't new or append, but you can't do that in C either. Seems
to me, you're comparing more to C++/Rust than to C.
and standard library functionality,
You have access to C's standard library from D.
you will never, ever write kernel level
code that stands a chance against C, C++ or Rust.
Your points don't apply to D vs C.
