True, but you still need to either generate or manually write the bindings. In D, you just import the C headers directly without depending on the bindings' maintainers.
> If it was an actual C++ modernization attempt that stayed C compatible it would have seen much better
Any D compiler is literally also a C compiler. I sincerely don't know how can one be more C compatible than that.
> Yes, and the no-gc stuff was just attempts to backpedal on the wrong initial decision
I think that it was more of an attempt to appease folks who won't use GC even with a gun to their head.
