Like 90% of the language, still generally nicer than most the
competition.
Though, I wish D would just own its decision instead of bowing
to Reddit pressure. GC is a proven success in the real world
with a long and impressive track record. Yes, there are times
when you need to optimize your code, but even then you aren't
really worse off with it than without it.
+1, with @nogc, -profile=gc most problems disappeared. You can
even guarantee no allocation at all, which isn't the case when
using C++ stdlib.
An overblown "problem" that started being a topic with the Rust
appearance.
