Hi D devs,
I read recently that D's garbage collector isn't the fastest, and
that you would like a faster one. I have some thoughts on that.
I have spent about 16 years with Java, and my experience with the
garbage collector typically falls into one of these two
categories:
Either the spe

My experience from Java is that one size never really fits all.
Open it up instead. Let the community "plug in" and I am sure D
will get a wealth of memory management strategies fast. Not
just 1 garbage collector, but N garbage c

I wonder what Walter and Andrei think of potentially
overhauling those elements in D. Right now all of the manual
memory management is basically ripped from C and C++ with no
changes, and no insights into how to improve such a system. B
Great to hear! Looking forward to learning more about how this
all works!

I do see why they went that route. Type safety is a top concern.
Did you mean memory safety? Neither C++ or D offer much help if
you want strong nominal typing. Which is a

A little something I've been working on for making into a DIP:

Would it be to your liking?
I don't know - what does it do? I am pretty new to D... !

It is not DIP ready, but basically would allow
