Interesting that they are going the "No classes allowed"

I think you'll find Sarn's work on Xanthe quite interesting:

D provides some remarkable features (type introspection, mixins,
templates, etc...) that could make something like this possible
in D.
Regardless, I been pushing for a way to deallocated classes in
the @nogc context, which apparently not very much people here
seemed to care about.
I think people care, but it's a difficult problem to solve due to
the burden of some of D's technical debt. I know you are aware
of the proposed ProtoObject which may provide an eventual
solution. I, for one, am considering abandoning classes
altogether and looking for ways to build on Sarn's aforementioned
work to make object hierarchies in D using only structs.
