D is pretty cool, perhaps someday I can use it instead of C++

But can the D GC ever be made:
1. precise
2. able to scale to large-ish data set(2gig+)
3. No long stalls(anything over a couple millisecond(<3))
This figure is quite meaningless: if I split a collection phase
in several 2ms portion, it would be conformat yet the user would
still see long stalls: you need to define both a period and a
maximum period of time usable by the GC in this period.
Q. Curious, would it be compacting?
Add VM-aware GC (http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/2391) and
you'll have also my ideal but non existant GC.
That said I know two free languages with a "real time" GC:
SuperCollider and Nimrod.
If not then I'm stuck not using it much--
Which leaves me with structs, and lets just say D struct are
not impressive--
* Oh and on a totally unrelated note, D needs Multiple return
values. Lua has it, it's awesome.
Agreed here.

D doesn't want to be left out does it?
* OpCmp returning an int is fugly I r sad
* why is haskell so much shorter syntax, can D get that nice
syntax plssssssssss
STAB!
