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.
