We must accommodate a GC-less world. It's definitely time to

Wow. Just wow.
By "it" there I mean "the brake" :o). -- Andrei
Wait, wait. So you're saying the GC is a brake, and we should remove the
brake, and therefore we should remove the GC? This is ... wow. I'm
speechless here.
Nothing new here. We want to make it a pleasant experience to use D
without a garbage collector. -- Andrei
Allow me to (possibly) clarify.
What Andrei is saying is that you should be able to use D and phobos
*without* the GC, not that we should remove the GC.
e.g. what Walter was talking about at dconf2015 that instead of
converting an integer to a GC-allocated string, you return a range that
does the same thing but doesn't allocate.
