That is fine, if you want to position yourself as competition to 
languages like Go, Java or C#. D wants to be a viable competition 
to languages like C, C++ and Rust, as a result, there are 
usecases where GC might not be enough. Also, the quoted part 
mentions throwaway scripts, which D can be used for, but most 
people would use Python or Node.JS like in the article instead.
