D is still build around a GC so it doesn't really fit into a discussion about GC free languages. Unless you want to focus on its "better C" subset, which I think puts it at a disadvantage compared to any language not fundamentally designed around the presence of a GC.

Nah, -betterC gives you an advantage over C. It isn't meant to give you an advantage over languages like C++. Its in the name after all ;)

You can use -betterC and link with C++ code, too.
