For engine and game development I'm still using C++, despite I

Game development is a very special use case, but personally I
don't think that many of those who use C++ for
close-to-the-metal development should be that much interested
in switching to D, because most of its standard libraries
depend on the presence of a GC...
I switched form C++ to D on game development one year ago.
I am developing CrystalEngine in D, it's on DUB.
The performance with GC it's good, for now.
Anyway, I try to avoid GC as much as possible.
The main issue for me in game development with D is the
cross-compilation (e.g. iOS, Windows Universal Platform..).
But also, with (static if/foreach, mixin) and other CTFE stuff, I
can optimize the code much better than with c++ poor CTFE and
preprocessor.
