I am bit torn on this, the less the compiler knows about
allocation strategies, the less opportunity there are for the
compiler to be smart about allocations. So, those things ought
to be language constructs, not library constructs.
At least if D is going to stay in the lane of high level
programming. (Zig is firmly staking ground in the manual-labour
department, as far as I can tell.)
Slightly off but also on topic but, has there been any general
consensus yet around standard pointer types (e.g. shared_ptr) and
standard allocator-aware data structures, or just in general any
discussions around non-GC memory management as part of
Phobos/core parts of D outside of "use/write a library"?
(And for completely off-topic: What are the plans for
std.experimental packages right now? Is std.experimental.logging
just going to sit there until the end of time?)
