and most of those people never even started to use D. took a

matter in this case which reason made 'em "turn away". if not GC,
it would be something another: they just wanted their Ideal
Lanugage, and found that D is not. those people just can't be
satisfied, 'cause they are looking for something D isn't at all.
D *can* be used without GC. and it will still be "better C". it
still will be less painful than C, but this is the price of doing
"low-level things". or it can be used on a much higher level,
where GC doesn't really matter anymore (and actually desirable).
