For truly high level languages garbage collection probably is the 
best, if you design the language semantics for it. The main issue 
with D is that the language semantics don't enable competitive GC 
advantages.

I think at least D should go with ARC for shared resources.

Then have a variety of options for task-local resources, 
including GC.
