If you use D across your organization, you can use the GC for internal tools and scripts, while keeping high-performance product code GC-free. So it's not really a hindrance, as you don't have to use different languages.

This!

I think D should latch and promote more on the idea of having on-demand performance when it's necessary with GC convenience for the rest of the application. Soon having borrow checker capability ala rust and cyclone will only strengthen the narrative.

That's what we already do however the popularity of things we thought were obvious implies we need to market D better.
