Is it reasonable to learn D

[Fabian]

Hi
I'm using D on Windows so I'm not able to use LDC. But I believe DMD 
should be a good alternative too.
If the garbage collection makes trouble I can disable it - or?

By the way: I've read that Digital Mars C++ compiler has got a bad code 
optimization. Is that true? In comparison with the Microsoft Visual 
Studio compiler.

Greetings Fabian
