Well D is now a bit higher on tiobe, position 22 (August 2013). It has been, for a very long time, on position 36.

Is there any push of getting vibed and gtkd in ubuntu before the LTS release?

It's really possible.

You can use malloc/free for manual memory management. For example, Vibe.d use it, and it's really fast.

You can disable automatic GC run and run GC manually:

Also, you can remove GC at all:

Wrong.
Vibe.d uses partial manual memory management but can't get rid of GC completely (and it hurts in certain situations hard)

It is the very same misadvertising. No one cares about what you can. D has inline assembly, you can possibly do anything. What does matter and what people expect is doing something conveniently. And D is not there right now.

Again, it can become much better with relatively few tweaks to the compiler. But it is not _right now_ and that is the only thing that does matter.
