But ESR doesn't seem to be fond of the GC idea for C like
languages though.
He states in a comment:
">For a long time I’ve been holding out hope for a ‘standard’
garbage collector library for C. But not gonna hold my breath.
Yeah, good idea not to. People as smart/skilled as you and me
have been poking at this problem since the 1980s and it’s pretty
easy to show that you can’t do better than Boehm–Demers–Weiser,
which has limitations that make it impractical. Sigh…"
Which does not say that he is against D's philosophy to offer GC
and RC.
Interestingly he doesn't know about D and he hasn't answered your
comment yet but instead answered another commenter about D and
got some pointers.
We will see if he looks into D and shares his opinion about it.
