A benchmark, mostly GC

I disagree, as there are other system languages with better GC algorithms as D,  because they offer more safe features than D, lack of inline assembler being one of them.

And regardless of what you may think about these languages suitability for doing systems programming, there are research operating systems written in them with lots of papers to read from. Something that I am yet to see from D.

Yet when reading how Singularity was implemented, there are lots of parallels between what Sing# offers and what D does. So I really see that there is quite some possibilities to improve D's GC still.
