Well, that's kinda the point. If there was a better way to have to achieve GC-free semantics, Rust would have taken it.

As for optional GC, didn't D haven't something along those lines?

Like Nim you can disable the GC in D.

AFAIK, most libraries won't handle that situation gracefully as they don't expect it.
