really? In this respect will be improved?

I don't like Go, but I hope to have improved D.

D has two problems with garbage collection one: There's little ways to work around it when /necessary/ two: The current GC is slow and bad. Both are actively being worked on, even if it doesn't seem so. I should have an alternate GC to demo soon-ish and I believe deadalnix is also working on an alternate GC. Meanwhile, there has been a lot of talk(and some work) on ownership semantics, compiler lifetime analysis, and RC implementation. Bye.
