D Language accepted for inclusion in GCC

No as Go has a GC. It's just supposed to be a fast server-side language without very complicated code. Go is mostly successful due to Google and filling a niche (fast, simple, concurrent, all thrown into a fat statically linked binary I think).

So what, so do Oberon, Modula-3 and many others including D.

Yet quite a few production OSes were even written with them, e.g. Native Oberon for the Ceres Workstation at ETHZ.

I think I'd rather not have GC in my OS. Oberon was a pretty small language, so perhaps the pauses were more acceptable.

It even supported live video editing.

Pauses weren't an issue for users' productivity.

I'd have to know more details to see y that's not a problem. Vastly superior code, or just a very lightweight system.. I dunno.

What is kind of left from the documentation. There are other sources but this one is easier to refer to.
