DConf2016 Livestream questions

Question to Liran Zvibel:
Did you (Weka.IO team) consider possibility to write all code in 
zeroGC fashion? i.e. pre-allocating as much as possible, using 
manual malloc/free for regular allocations or using arena-style 
allocator for temporary stuff? If yes, why did you ended up in 
using GC.

I have experience writing in zeroGC style in Java. That means no 
new object is created during the working cycle: ok to create some 
garbage at the start-up or increase some storage arrays of 
primitive from time to time, but the target is - GC is not 
triggered during the day at all. My expectation is that writing 
in zeroGC style in D should be simpler.
