Why would they choose D for low level programming when they knew before they chose it that it had a Garbage Collector?
Because it was/is a work-in-progress when they first got interested in it, and it was also advertised as a replacement for C and C++. It was also assumed that one could expect significant improvements on the GC as the language matured. But of course, computers also get more and more memory to scan…
who do. But maybe that is the case, the people who complain about the Garbage Collector in this D forum are not using D.
Both. Some use D, but not the GC after initialization. Some wanted to use D (in production), but has put that on hold and are just waiting to see where it is heading. Some gave up on D for low level programming and turned to other languages.
So yes and no. ;-)
