Do you know what the most complaints about D in the reddit
thread were? D's incredibly old garbage collector, a complete
lack of a good IDE, and a lack of good manual memory management
utilities.
I'm not blaming you, I'm just not sure if you're aware of what
this looks like. If you intend for D to be a hobby project,
then continue on.
I just want to make sure that you understand that he was asking
for low hanging optimization opportunities that could be
implemented in few hours of work?
