It is very sad because it is the same discussion, every weeks,
every months, every years
People agree that GC is trash, and yet no action done to improve
things
I reiterate, i know i choose strong words, it's on purpose
D 3.0 needs to happen, with a GC-free features/std
That's the only way to be future proof and pragmatic
How many people who wrote the GC dependent std are still here
using D? i bet close to 5%
They made D unusable for some workloads, and they made it
dependent on very bad GC implementation, the wrong memory model
when you advertise yourself as being a "system language"
D with core.stdc is the best version of D
Add traits/signature system and RC and you'll have a very capable
and pragmatic system language
Simpler than to come up with 15151 different GC implementation
with 2618518 different config options to waste months tweaking
them *cough* JVM *cough*
