No that would be stupid to make that the default as it is

When would you estimate that D could have a production ready
default memory managment solution (without GC)?
Now, D can do the exact same as C++ .
When people look at a language they don't ask themselves what
is possible, but what the main features are and how convenient
it looks.
It is in the standard lib, as it is for C++.
So from a (C/C++) marketing point of view it is better to send
the message "excellent memory management with optional GC" than
"GC backed memory with optional..."
That's dumb from an engineering point of view.
