These sort of statements are ridiculous considering there are 
many AAA games (including open world games) written in JavaScript 
using Webgl.

Dagon (check dub repository) has so many samples written using 
the engine. D can do noGC, GC, and RC so it'll be more of a skill 
issue than a language barrier.
