GC can be a good thing, when you want to quickly sketch a new program of simply want to act as a scripting language and do a task as quick as possible without too much thinking

That said, i'd still prefer a simple Reference Counting than a full GC as it's quite memory hungry and collections introduce pauses.. wich is not a desirable behavior at all, even though pauses can be solved, i'm no a fan of the idea that a language manage my memory in unpredictable ways

The reason i use D is because i can use it just like C/C++ (with modern niceties such as module, slices, metaprogramming and fast compile time) with my own allocators, completely ignoring the GC

But whenever i need a quick and dirty "script" (it almost never happen), instead of using bash or python, well i simply just use D with its GC, but again, as i said above, i'd prefer a simple RC instead.. but yeah.. it's no big deal since i prefer to manage memory my way anyways

A perfect language understands your intent without impacting your workflow with slow compile time due to heavy, restrictive and slow compile time static analysis (borrow checker for example)
