If you want D to have a GC, you have to design the language

C++ with Boehm.
The irony is that most GC-related complaints are the exact
opposite - that the language depends too much on the GC.
Phobos relies on the GC, but the language itself is not
designed around being GC friendly.
There are array literals, delegates, associative arrays,
pointers, new, delete, and classes, all of which depend on the GC
and are part of the language.
