They're replacing a lot of GC'd standard library functions with @nogc functions, so people might not have to depend on the GC soon.

Some people were also working on a reference counted type (that'd replace the GC I guess?) a few years ago, but I don't know what happened to that, or if it did make into the language. There are a few open RC pull requests from 2019 on the d runtime repository.
