The same (ie: big companies with GC) holds for C# and Java. They 
do not aim for the "systems programming language" mantra.

If D is another competitor for Java and C#...

(BTW, there are/will be .NET native and gcj).

More, in embedded systems (and, generally, in system 
programming), having or no a GC is not only about speed. It is 
also about the amount of memory that is used and about 
predictability.

And let's not even talk about the finalizers/destructors and so 
on.

Go went for servers, not for systems. Rename D to Vibe.D and 
everything will fall in place.
