Regarding what you said about the implementation of the GC following in the footsteps of industry giants, what specifically about D's GC impl is patterned after other industry giant's GC's?

The simple fact that it is a GC. These debates aren't about technical details. You don't see the reddit detractors actually arguing implementation details - they just equate GC with bad.

But GC isn't bad. GC is used by virtually everyone, to big productivity and memory safety gains by most, and evidently, without seriously getting in the way by the majority of the remainder.... just like how D's specialized users who can't afford GC still manage to use D.
