If you're having that much serious problems then there is only
one thing I can think of: Your computer is survived from 90s
The more you don't collect, the more time it takes time to
collect; thus, you may want to configure GC to do it's job more
often so it doesn't stop significantly, and also manually
trigger collection where appropriate...
If I had the time and knowledge I would spend them to make D
better, but you can't expect a teenager (tip: me) to help
making DMD front-end better or to implement a precise GC... I
guess?
You would be surprised at the number of folks who've made great
enhancements, or contributions, to various open source projects
over the decades that are not even 18.
The beauty of open-source is that talent is no longer defined by
your age, gender, or location, and is defined entirely by
ability, and sometimes, the ability to conform to that
open-sources' project standards / expectations.
Age need no part in the equation ;)
