I have to agree with this.  I was attracted to D by the better C++
possibilities.  I still want that.  And I would like to see the gc be as
performant as possible, and be relatively easy to avoid in bottlenecks.

I don't work on real time systems, but throughput and not hammering the
memory bus matters a lot.
