I'm sort of getting the idea that D goal would to be a better 
Java.

I'm running away from Java (after 10 years). I hope that someone 
at D has power and can say NO to a feature the way Linus does as 
opposed to adding more 'JCP' features, pushing such stuff 
downstream. Adding more features to be good at everything, aka a 
submarine that is a law mover. It's all done w/ best intentions. 
But forcing GC into base library of a system programing language? 
Maybe D is not a system programing language, but a enterprise app 
productivity lang. At least give us a choice, to use D why do I 
have to re-write the base lib.
