It's a hard fact. Some features (e.g. appending to an array) require the GC and will always require the GC. There may be features which currently require the GC but shouldn't necessarily require it (e.g. AAs may fall in that camp), but some features absolutely require it, and there's no way around that.
... but there is also std.container.Array which if I understand right, does its own memory management and does not require the GC, no?
Which leads to the question, to what extent is it possible to use built-in arrays and std.container.Arrays interchangeably? What are the things you can't do with a std.container.Array that you can with a built-in one?
