Re:I spent a year of my life making an ASN.1 compiler in D

I work in many domains, some where a GC is totally no problem, and some where I'd rather not have a GC (such as microcontrollers, games, the occasional kernel code, software running on embedded Linux devices with very limited memory).
I'm happy with C++ and Rust for those tasks. For other tasks where I want a GC, I'm perfectly happy with some combination of Go, Python and Typescript. I'm realistically never going to look into D.

I'm glad you've found a nice stack that you like working with! D has been used for every domain mentioned. Whether or not you look into D in the future is no business of mine.
