D Cannot Be Used for Real Time / Low Latency Systems? - Of course it can!

Hi guys,

I read from some of the other forum threads that D is being 
criticized for not being usable for real time / low latency 
systems because it has a GC.

First of all, such system are already being written in Java. 
Google "Martin Thompson" and LMAX and you will see. Or Aeron 
(also Java and Martin Thompson).

Second, when Java has been used to develop such systems, the GC 
has been avoided as much as possible - which is even easier to do 
with D than Java.

So, it's a load of BS that D's GC should somehow make it 
impossible to make real time / low latency software.
