Scenario: OpenSSL in D language, pros/cons

I have read this excellent article by David A. Wheeler:

http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/heartbleed.html

And since D language was not there, I mentioned it to him as a 
possible good candidate due to its static typing and related 
features.

However, now I am asking the community here: would a D 
implementation (with GC disabled) of OpenSSL have been free from 
Heartbleed-type vulnerabilities? Specifically 
http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/126.html and 
http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/20.html as David mentions.

I find this perspective very interesting, please advise :)
