The topic was why Apple ditch C++/LLVM and why it's being phased 
out as a language

Then you said some things about the future is JIT and GCs

Then i said, that's why D doesn't grow

You derailed, i tried to put topic on track

OP title is "Zig vs D generics", not GCs, JITs or C++

Otherwise we do Java and we don't need generics, or we do 
Javascript and dynamic and we don't need no struct
