@safe and the GC have _huge_ value.

Actually, it was worse than being back in C++ land: there I can
use valgrind and address sanitizer. With D's allocators I was
lost.
I'd forgotten how much "fun" it was to print pointer values to
the terminal to track down memory bugs. It's especially fun when
you're on Windows, your code is in a DLL loaded by a program you
don't control and DebugViewer is your only friend.
