Memory management is not a problem. You can manage memory just
as easily in D as you can in C or C++. Just don't use global

C++ standard library is not based around a GC.
D promises both MM possibilities yet its standard library as of
now based around GC.
You are talking about design. When it comes to implementation,
last time i checked, not using standard memory manager also means
not using standard library.
A big codebase on another language is a problem shared by most of
us and that is by far the most significant. Yet i thought we were
talking about "why not switch to D" rather than "why not switch
to another language".
