 From the Reddit thread:

     Anyone here actually use D for real work? I've always thought
     it looked well architected, like a better C++, but it seems
     hampered by the lack of a complete correct FREE
     implementation.

     All 3 D compilers, dmd gcd and ldc, are free.

Which "free" does drayno mean, and which does Walter?
