How is D's memory safety without the GC? How does it guarantee you don't use-after-free, de-ref nulls, buffer overflow, etc?

Great question! The answer is a bit more than a simple reply can do, so:

It seems like use-after-free is still a potential issue, even with those guard rails. Rust deals with those through named lifetimes --would those ideas be useful in D as well?

Walter, you're always so responsive in these threads! Cheers.

This is being worked on, but there is already memory safety checks implemented in the compiler (That one can use now) "-dip1000"
