"Maybe D is right about GC after all!"
No, GC is just one kind of automatic memory management. Just
like we have many different data structures all suited for
different purposes, we need different memory managers for
different purposes. D's mistake is that it has dominantly
favored one.

But it doesn't preclude you from using others, unlike other
that force it. Yes it can be a bit of a pain to work around but
it can be done.
You mean have two bulky GCs around claiming they own memory at
the same time? What could go wrong...
