The biggest problem with D isn't the GC, is lack of focus to make it stand out versus .NET Native, Swift, Rust, Ada, SPARK, Java, C++17.
I knew you would chime in... Neither .NET, Swift or Java should be considered system level tools. Ada/Spark has a very narrow use case. Rust is still in it's infancy. C++17 is not yet finished. But yes, C++ currently owns system level programming, C is loosing terrain and Rust has an uncertain future.
The biggest problem with D is not GC, because we now how @nogc. But D is still lacking in memory management.
