I'm sure that will get better over time, though. At least I don't see
why not. Most of what is needed is already there.
The problem with trying to satisfy Reddit is that they want the GC
removed from the language. They want it off by default, they want all
language features to work without the GC, they want all of Phobos to be
free of the GC, and they want all code anyone else writes in D to be
written without the GC in case they want to call that code.
I'm all for adding additional features to the language for those that
prefer to avoid the GC. But that's not what the anti-GC coalition is
asking for.
Quite frankly if the GC was removed from D, you won't be seeing me
around here anymore.
I wouldn't be surprised if I wasn't alone in this case. Good chance
there would be enough of us to realistically start our own language.
