You're the guy who said that "nothing is preventing you" from using D without a GC. A lack of libraries which work without a GC is something preventing you from using D without a GC. Just be honest.
It looks like you work in a ton of different domains. I think based on what I've written in response to you so far, it should be easy to see that D is likely a good fit for some things you work on and a bad fit for others. I don't see what the problem is.
The D community is full of really nice and interesting people who are fun to interact with. It's also got a smaller number of people who complain loudly about the GC. This latter contingency of people is perceived as being maybe a bit frustrating and unreasonable.
I don't care whether you check D out or not. But your initial foray into this thread was to cast shade on D by mentioning issues with proprietary compilers (hasn't been a thing in years), and insinuating that the community was fractured because of the GC. Since you clearly don't know that much about the language and have no vested interest in it, why not leave well enough alone instead of muddying the waters with misleading and biased commentary?
That's an interesting fantasy you have constructed. You should try listening to the people who actually use it.
You have a point, but it is not worth the drama. D's biggest problem comes from the strong opinions of people that have not tried using it.
Stop making excuses or expecting others to do your work for you.
Nothing is preventing you.
