Clearly, there are folks who find it useful, but it loses so much that I see no point in using it for anything unless I have no choice. As long as attempts to improve it don't negatively impact normal D, then I don't really care what happens with it, but it's clearly not for me. And it _is_ possible to use full-featured D from C/C++ when D does not control main. It's just more of a pain. - Jonathan M Davis Totally agree with this.

Re: Blog post on automem

This is officially part of the GC series. The next post in the series will be my @nogc post (I've pushed it back to after DConf). [...] Automem is something, that should just be there in the standard library.

Not without breaking changes. Breaking, you mean the standard library? or including user codebases?
