Yes, that is my guess also, but there are chances that I will be 
in these extreme situations myself, not for my pet projects, but 
for some embedded stuff I want to do. That is why I want 
something without runtime for microcontrollers at some point. 
Just to have the possibility open. For now I think I will stick 
to C++ for that (a subset) until I am confident D can do 
perfectly ok there. I know D is designed for that also (modulo GC 
and runtime) but I still need to see the practical, day to day 
problems if I use D for such a thing instead of C++, which I know 
quite well.
