A very nice article and success story. We've had similar
stories with several products at Facebook. There is of course
the opposite view - an orders-of-magnitude improvement means
there was quite a lot of waste just before that.
I wish we could amass the experts able to make similar things
happen for us.

Hello Andrei,
May only be slightly related, but when you talked about D vs Go
vs Rust in that Quora answer (here:
https://www.quora.com/Which-language-has-the-brightest-future-in-replacement-of-C-between-D-Go-and-Rust-And-Why/answer/Andrei-Alexandrescu), I was thinking, okay, so D's GC seems to turned out not that great. But how about the idea of transplanting Rust's ownership system instead of trying to make the GC better?
Disclaimer: I know very little about D's possibly similar
mechanisms.
Thanks,
Istvan
