Yes, I also think for long-running memory-hungry server-stuff the current conservative GC is a show stopper. Some people are working on a concurrent and a precise GC. Then parallel and concurrent and incremental and generational and whatnot GCs will be explored. The point where it gets interesting for these server-apps is not clear though.

Regarding the GC, I've seen some slides on DConf about other garbage collectors available. Is there any resource/tutorial that shows how you can swap out the default GC for those alternative implementations?

As far as I know those other GCs are not ready for prime time yet. For sure, there is no other GC shipped with the current D 2.064.2.

Oh, and keep nagging! We need to hear about showstoppers, so we can fix them! ;)
