Enough to be usable on virtually all platforms that rust is going to target in next 2 years. I hope I'll get proven wrong but that's it for now. And maybe along the time we'll see some decoupling of stdlib from GC too.

OTOH some people like GC too :)

That is already happening. There is no measure, though. How should it be measured?

Related, a few days another blog post in the No-GC series was published: https://dlang.org/blog/2017/07/07/go-your-own-way-part-one-t...
