I humbly believe it is not just about amassing experts, but also
making it easy to do experiments. Phobos/druntime should provide
set of APIs for literally everything so people can do their own
implementations of ANY standard library module(s). I wish D
offered module interfaces the same way Modula-3 did...
To work on new GC in D one needs to remove the old one, and
replace it with his/her new implementation, while with
competition it is more/less implementation of few interfaces, and
instructing compiler to use the new GC...
