No. Not dmd.

LDC or GDC.

DMD is not suitable for experimentation due to the situation with atomics.

Advanced GC's may need concurrent data structures like lock-free, and 
you cannot implement them with dmd due to the atomic instructions being 
3 function calls deep. You get segfaults. Been there done that, what a 
waste of 7 months.
