I always thought of you as the C++/D compiler guy - wow you did work in aerospace too!

Thanks for making the D programming language. If it did not insist on a GC and had a robust and stable GC-free stdlib, I believe it could have conquered the world.

D works just fine without using the GC. It can also work just fine with just the C standard library. It does not insist on it.

BTW, the GC makes the compile time function execution sweet and easy.
