Hi Steve,
Two reasons.
1. I am writting a dll to use in Python. So I am assuming that
manual memory management is better for this project. It will
give finer control to me.
2. To squeeze out the last bit of performance from D.
the GC only runs on allocation. if you want to squeeze out the
last bit of performance, you should preallocate all bufferes
anyway, and GC vs no GC doesn't matter.
also just slap @nogc on your main function to avoid accidential
allocations.
