I humbly believe it is not just about amassing experts, but
also making it easy to do experiments. Phobos/druntime should
provide set of APIs for literally everything so people can do
their own implementations of ANY standard library module(s). I
wish D offered module interfaces the same way Modula-3 did...
To work on new GC in D one needs to remove the old one, and
replace it with his/her new implementation, while with
competition it is more/less implementation of few interfaces,
and instructing compiler to use the new GC...

What else do you need to start working on a new GC implementation?
