As for your second question (i.e. how good the GC needs to be
for me), I would probably be satisfied with a GC that matches
the Java one
This will not happen even in one hundred years. So if that's
what you want, you will never be satisfied by D GC.
Actually, I think we can do better than Java, because we have
type qualifiers and less indirection. That isn't unseen: OCaml's
GC is more performant than Java's. We certainly do not have the
resources java has, but we have a language that is way more GC
friendly.
