D's GC is a failure, the amount of effort needed/given to work

Coming from a Java background and being an application rather
then systems developer one thing that attracted me to D was the
garbage collection. While D's GC implementation is not great,
I'd hate to see it dropped. Personally I'd rather priority be
given to improving the GC implementation rather then building
manual allocation methods but that's just me.
D's GC will forever be far below anything in a managed
environment without fundamentally altering the language.
I'd honestly be surprised if a GC heavy D application was faster
than python.
