From a technical and experience point of view (those with
experience in large D code-base), how is only D's GC & optional
MMM a significant production-use blocker?
(To make my problem clear, how is D's current state not going
to allow / make it so difficult for developers (who know what
they are doing) to write say Photoshop-scale software:
excluding those *so* realtime use cases?)
Note: I understand that D is never going without critics:
perfection is impossible. And, in my line of work, I highly
prefer the safety of GC compared to MMM... so I don't see
myself worried about GC pauses.
I hope my question makes sense.
D's GC doesn't have great performances. However it works great
and generally you don't depend as much on the GC as you would in
other languages. If you don't have real time constraints, you
should be fine.
