Like 90% of the language, still generally nicer than most the
competition.
Though, I wish D would just own its decision instead of bowing
to Reddit pressure. GC is a proven success in the real world
with a long and impressive track record. Yes, there are times
when you need to optimize your code, but even then you aren't
really worse off with it than without it.
GC is okay if there is a way to ensure it does not suspend time
critical code. Right now this is not possible. Even if my
time critical code is completely @nogc, other threads still can
trigger the GC and stop the world including my time critical
thread.
You can still unregister your critical thread from GC.
