No, because D has painted itself into a corner. Not only between 
GC and manual memory management but also that you cannot swap GC 
types (any type of GC, like Nim can) because D treats all 
pointers the same. That might have some advantages but I would 
say that the disadvantage is huge.

Memory management wise, D is going nowhere as it seems.
