Not Weka but we are happy with @nogc and without @nogc our job 
would be impossible.

You don't like it fine. But I can guarantee it has its uses.

There is no other choice when the runtime is disabled but to have 
@nogc.
It's a fantastic peace of mind for high-performance to be able to 
_enforce_ something will not allocate. If anything, that's 
superior to C++ when copying a std::vector will trigger an 
allocation etc.
