What's the state of deterministic GC in D, or alternatively being
able to disable the GC?
I've been looking into languages to implement a real-time testing
system and had thought of D, but AFAICT the GC makes it
unsuitable. The CGCD effort looks to be moving in the right
direction, but it would

you still can do manual memory management with `malloc()` and friends.
but you must be very cautious with dynamic arrays and slices. may

Some people including myself write D with only minimal runtime
(bare metal profile). Is it what you're looking for?

4 actually, if you count delegate closures.
