Wrong. Read one post above:

GC is a language feature of D.
As funny as that may seem (as a comeback timed almost too well)
this has interesting truth to it. Some convenience features of
D require GC to work, and that's as cut and dried as it gets.
But I agree with Andrei: it requires reason and measure. I just
think that D could keep all of the features that make it great
(modules, templates, slices are without rival, Phobos is well
laid out), even after a complete overhaul of the memory system.
Or watch part of the (real) systems programmers move from C++ to
Rust (should it reach a stable 1.0, it already compiles itself)
and the Java / C# crowd stay where they are.
