The reason we want to move away from tracing GC is because of 
this, to quote Araq in this thread.

*But Nim actually bets on RC because it's much more amenable to 
manual optimizations and because it works well with custom memory 
management, making it a good fit for "systems programming".*

If D wants be a viable option in embedded and systems 
programming, it has to move away from the tracing GC it has 
today. This is one of the big reasons D doesn't gain popularity. 
For high level scripting languages, there are plenty of 
alternatives.
