C# has added a lot of control over memory layout. Span [0], structs etc. I am hoping they add more D like features (@nogc) to the language. Java itself has just made strides on reducing GC pause times [1].

Granted, this isn't optional GC, but does D really give you that? Don't you lose the entire ecosystem and stdlib with -asBetterC? Why would I choose that over rust/zig/c++?

FWIW, I am a big fan of D.
