The arguments against D are pretty weak if I'm honest, but I
think it's important we understand what people think of D. I
can confirm this sentiment is fairly common in the industry.
Notice that in his post and the comments, a recurring (negative)
issue is garbage collection. This is pretty common with mentions
of D on reddit too, always a few posters mentioning D's GC as a
negative. So many of those comments could be made obsolete by a
decent precise garbage collector, and perhaps a compiler switch
like the 'noruntime' one that Walter proposed a few months ago.
On the plus side, D is mentioned prominently and in the
comparison with C++ template programming D really shines.
