This language would basically be D without the garbage collection.
For example there would be structures but no classes.
There would be regular arrays but no dynamic arrays.
Code that is mostly equivalent to C, but you would still have structures
with functions and overloading support,
and other features like templates etc.
I think you get the idea.
What are your thoughts?
I would love this as well. I *think* you wouldn't have to recreate the
language, just recreate the runtime. You can currently use D and can
completely avoid the use of the GC by just using static functions. From
what I understand, dynamic arrays are also controlled and provided
through the runtime. You can also export C symbols if you wanted to.
No need to restrict yourself yo static functions. Functions in structs
are not virtual and doesn't require the GC.
Virtual functions don't require the GC either.
