> For me the biggest gap in programming languages is a rust like language with a garbage collector, instead of a borrow checker.

I agree, though I often think Rust is probably good enough. You can use RC or grab a GC crate. It's not as ergonomic as just assuming all values are GCed, but I think it gives the flexibility and fast iteration of working in a GCed language.

Rust is not as good as D in this domain in which D is designed for this, since it's GC by default, please see my other comments.
