How much of D can you really use without Phobos? I imagine there'd be no problem in using it as a better C, but there isn't much appeal to that,
I don't agree there's not much appeal to that. D has quite a bit that makes C-style code much easier and more robust, such as the module system. C doesn't even have thread local storage!
compared to C++/STL/Boost. A practical No-GC D solution would probably have to include a standard library that works without a GC.
D can use the minimal library used by C in kernel dev.
