That's good news in a way. If a big company accepts GC and the
Go crowd go with it (pardon the pun), then it will find more
acceptance (as Paulo pointed out in a different thread).
The same (ie: big companies with GC) holds for C# and Java. They
do not aim for the "systems programming language" mantra.
If D is another competitor for Java and C#...
(BTW, there are/will be .NET native and gcj).
More, in embedded systems (and, generally, in system
programming), having or no a GC is not only about speed. It is
also about the amount of memory that is used and about
predictability.
And let's not even talk about the finalizers/destructors and so
on.
Go went for servers, not for systems. Rename D to Vibe.D and
everything will fall in place.
