Yep, it can be a long way from PoC to a quality implementation. 
Write GtkD 2.0 with careful approach w.r.t. resource management. 
Though, reference counting may not be a silver bullet, it still 
requires you to not forget to clear unneeded resources. And it's 
of no use if the reference is in an GC-managed object. Also you 
can still create big resources too eagerly instead of on demand, 
and hold onto them for longer than needed.
