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?
This requires drastically changing 99% of the language and it's bringing not just the benefits but also all the pain coming with this ownership system. Productivity goes down, learning curve goes up. And it will be a very different language in the end, so you might want to just use Rust instead of trying to make D another Rust.
