Duh! The claim is made that D can work without the GC... but that's a

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.
Usually correct, but there are times when you want to suspend the
garbage collection. The problem is this should always be a scoped
decision, because it's easy to accidentally leave it turned off, and
then it's MUCH worse than not having it.
