Wrong.
Vibe.d uses partial manual memory management but can't get rid of 
GC completely (and it hurts in certain situations hard)

It is the very same misadvertising. No one cares about what you 
can. D has inline assembly, you can possibly do anything. What 
does matter and what people expect is doing something 
conveniently. And D is not there right now.

Again, it can become much better with relatively few tweaks to 
the compiler. But it is not _right now_ and that is the only 
thing that does matter.
