I bet you that if D hadn't had GC when it first came out, people would've mentioned manual memory management as a reason not to use GC. I never claimed that D was _propelled_ by GC, but that it was a feature that most users would expect. Not having it would probably have done more harm than having it.By the way, have you ever designed a language, I'd love to see how it would look like ;)[snip]
