From the first paper that you linked (available freely on sci-hub) it looks like they were unable to proove that their method actually works. They made simulations with small problems but are not sure if this method will work for larger problems.

> So do Java, C#, Python, Ruby, PHP, Javascript, and virtually everything else and they are very heavily used.

That's the point. There are already many popular languages with GC. Why would people switch from C++ (this was the original question) to D instead of one of those much more popular languages that you mentioned?
