I am curious about binary size of microservies on webpages. 
D-binaries tend to be bigger and the D garbage collector needs to 
be within them. Then we would have to rely on LLVM drastically 
reducing the binary size of static compiled apps.

If we say "its only for betterc" or "its only for bigger webapps 
and nodejs-webassembly", it would be half assed - and in my 
humble opinion too much of a disadvantage compared to rust. I 
might be wrong of course
