- No, D is a fully garbage collected language.
- No, it can't be disabled if you want to keep using "impressive
features" of the language.
Long story short, if you prefer to manage your own god-damn
memory manually, D isn't the way to go. No sir, you are stuck
with an inefficient GC. They've been improving the GC for years,
but it's still not good enough. I suggest Rust, or something like
that.
