+1 on interest on having this. Back when I was attempting to port VST to D I got asked by a Steinberg dev how I can guarantee that D plugins will work. But I couldn't guarantee it, if a GC collection were to run the plugin would freeze, the host would crash, and the host company would likely get the blame. A GC-less environment would be great for realtime plugins, I'm not sure how arrays/slices would work, but I guess custom Array refcounted structs could be made or something.
Seems like a very badly designed plugin or plugin system if the host crashes when a plugin freezes.
