I'm just wondering about the -nothrow switch name: "Adding the -nothrow switch to the compiler causes the stack unwinders to not be added and enables the optimizations. This capability is already there for -betterC code, this would just enable it for regular D code." Why is it named nothrow if what it's really doing is not adding the unwinders? A nothrow switch could imply it's doing something in relationship to nothrow, which it doesn't (unless it's secretly enforcing nothrow in the codebase).

Changing the theAllocator (a TLS variable) in std.experimental.allocator looks like this: auto save = theAllocator; theAllocator = myAllocator; // do stuff with custom allocator theAllocator = save; Changing the allocator in implicit-context looks like this context.push; context.allocator = myAlloc; // do stuff with custom allocator context.pop; so now that I think about it I'm not sure if there is an substantial advantage over simply having TLS variables. I had the goal of allowing .alloca on that secondary stack. If there is many context variables, push and pop will be a bit faster to write than all the temporaries. I understand, it's more like if you mix optional parameters and dependency injection? I think for this to be truly valuable, it would require being part of the language.

Lack of ImportC has wasted a *lot* of developer time, making it a high leverage investment of time. Just think of all the time lost doing manual conversion of .h files, and then doing them again and again as they evolve. Then not one, not two, but *three* different automated programs were developed to try and resolve this (one of which I wrote). Then think of all the projects *not* done because of the barrier of trying to deal with several thousand lines of .h files. The Diemos project was an effort to crowdsource conversion of .h files to D, but it just was not adequate. In summary, ImportC is totally worth the effort. I should have done it 15 years ago. Agreed. I'm eager to try ImportC in it's full glory when it arrives :) And when it's "complete" it would be cool to integrate it even further.

We can clearly observe how different the demands are for different programmers in this forum. I enjoy GC for the appropriate programs, however there are SW where GC is a problem and cannot be used. Because of this Phobos must take the lowest common denominator approach (malloc/free) in order to be able to accommodate all the different needs. D is one these Swiss army knife languages that can be used for everything, including low level software and everything in between. What D should strive for is to give programmers a choice and put up as few barriers as possible. It's certainly challenging to make a library and language fitting everyone needs but D is at least one of the best foundation of achieving that goal. I agree with the description of a swiss army knife. Like if some comany/brand said they're removing the little saw, and there are many ppl who bought the knife mainly to be able to do some quick n dirty sawing, they would choose another company/brand.

And it is also obvious that collection speed will drop as your application grows and you start working with larger datasets.
