Walter said he’d previously complained about the lack of D
articles on Hacker News, but one had shown up recently and
turned out to be a significant success for us. He wanted more
of that kind of visibility.
He then went into a little rant about people who said "I used
D for years, but it had this one flaw, so I dropped it," and
then presented that flaw as the reason D couldn't succeed. The
example he’d seen lately was, "I can’t use D because the
exception handler uses the garbage collector."
GC is the reason I __use__ D.
Some people just have GC phobia
