hello everyone,
is there any kind of smart pointers or something in D instead of

Walter has been making improvements to  safe so that he can implement some
form of  safe reference counting in the language. Exactly what that will
look like or when it will be done is an open question (I don't even know how
much Walter knows about that), but work _is_ being done specifically with
language supported ref-counting in mind.

So, is it coming? Yes. Is it coming soon? Maybe. I wouldn't bet on it, but
Walter could surprise us. He could have something by dconf, or enough stuff
may be required to get it working or enough other important stuff may take
up his time that we don't see anything until next year. I really don't know.
As it is, it's already effectively been delayed by the need to improve  safe
in order to make it work - though the  safe work is pretty important in its
own right.

You may want to look into https://github.com/etcimon/memutils and 
https://github.com/caraus-ecms/tanya (source/tanya/memory/types).

Non-atomic RC wrapper type is here



and instantiator for it here



It can be combined with containers such as the ones in

https://github.com/economicmodeling/containers

Note that these containers have their copy constructors disabled 
to prevent implicit (C++ style) copying.

Andrei probably knows more about _atomic_ RC.
