you are wrong. and you definitely know nothing about garbage

That's pretty harsh Ketmar. It's obvious he knows the general
ideas and was just wondering if using the .NET GC was a viable
option. I think responding to others in such a demeaning way
is harmful to the D community as it isolates people. It
doesn't encourage people to be curious or want to start a
discussion. Having people, especially newcomers to D come in
and make suggestions and solutions is a great thing for a
community. It means they saw enough potential in the language
to want to know more and maybe even how they could contribute.
It also makes ketmar look like a tard and childish. Konstantin
said he 'believed' something then ketmar responded with a
fallacious attack. Maybe ketmar needs to take his meds? ;)
The idea that "a community" cannot create a GC is false. It is
not too complex as there are plenty of complex projects that are
community driven. A better assumption would be he doesn't
believe THIS community can create a GC. Not that I believe
either because there is no reason a community driven GC would not
be successful. There are plenty of good GCs out there like Java's
for instance and work great for the ecosystem of the language but
even if we had the greatest then some D devs would still be upset
because a lot of D devs come from C/C++ and do not want the GC.
Both statements made assumptions and I do not think they are
even close to the worst things said on this forum. ppl chill a
little. Light one up, Drink one, put some rounds down range,
whatever you gotta do to lighten up a little.
