Yes, I don't see why anyone should have to link in the GC if
they don't want to use it.
I think the leaders are in over their heads. They have no real
vision or plan to make D the language it can be. They are
satisfied with their niche in the programming world. They need a
Steve Jobs type of person to make this stuff happen. Someone that
understands what has to be done, in what order, and how to make
it happen.
What D lacks is organizational structure! It's akin to a bunch of
kids programming in their bedrooms cobbling together stuff and
being ecstatic that it works(for them at least). D is basically
stagnate(bug fixes and piddly stuff don't count), which is pretty
sad considering it looks to be a one of the best languages on the
planet.
If I said this stuff in North Korea I'd be hung!
