A question/suggestion regarding the GC

Jarrett Billingsley:

>I thought you already knew how conservative GCs worked ;)<

Me too. In my mind there are dead zones of theory that I have to transform into small living nets of practical knowledge :-)


>Your code is, from what I've seen, uncommon.<

I write normal code too, but mostly in other languages.


>Let me guess: in that sentence, "some people" means "me" (you).<

No, when I mean me I say me.
I'd like to see a built-in Safe D (maybe like you tag #unsafe parts in C#?).


>It would all be covered by one GC, though.<

I see, good.


>If your _entire_ program were in SafeD, however, you could come up with a new GC that could do heap compaction and the like.<
