I am going to answer a few questions that are on everybody's mind.

This is still going to be the case. If you don't use GC, you 
don't use it, just the way it is now. If there are no allocations 
being made with the GC, then the GC isn't going to be ran. That 
being said, there is no real will to directly support GC-less 
code, so as I see it, you'd have to make your own nogc code if 
you want to.

Of course, the C interop is still gonna be in, it's not something 
we want to get rid of entirely. We just don't want to encourage 
using it. But if you want to - feel free to do so.
