Yeah no that's not happening. Maybe YOU are going to tell me 
that, but no, not just anyone. GC == Bad people are just 
extremists. Tell that to all the people making commercial games 
in Java and C# and you'll get laughed at and you know what, I 
live near montreal where lots of video games companies operate 
and I know people who work for those companies... and they use 
C#, an aggressively GC'd language. Do you know what they say when 
I tell them about this silly little bacon dance the nogc folk are 
doing everyday in D land? I'll let you guess...
