Just from watching a few of the DConf 2014 talks, if you want
performance you avoid the GC at all costs (even if that means
allocating into huge predefined buffers). Once you're going to
these lengths to avoid garbage collection it begs the question,
why are you even using this language? Within this community the
question is rhetorical but to outsiders I feel it's a major
concern.
If D came without GC, it would have replaced C++ a long time ago!
