The advantages of D are numerous. It a language design to make a newbie a pro and to give a pro an edge. It simplify Complex things and make them very simple. D is a joy to work with and bugs
 are not features

I remember reading your answer on how you generate income. You said you bought high and sold low. I suffered several losses before I realised your particular sense of humor.

My superpower is control over the stock market. Immediately after I buy a stock, the stock tanks. Immediately after I sell, it zooms upwards.

It's proof that I'm living in a simulation!

IF YOU'RE READING THIS, YOU'VE BEEN IN A SIMULATION FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS NOW. WE'RE TRYING A NEW TECHNIQUE. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS MESSAGE WILL END UP IN YOUR DREAM, BUT WE HOPE WE'RE GETTING THROUGH.

Oberon-2 has had some versions that used a garbage collector. Have their been other languages - besides D - that compiled to object code and used a garbage collector?

You can use a GC with C++ and you can compile Java to native code ahead of time.

The distinctions aren't really that sharp, it just depends on how you use it.

After I posted I wanted to edit it to add "disregarding JIT in conjunction with a VM like JVM or .NET". Have there been any C++ compilers that used a garbage collector?

What I was getting at was, if someone says "I've got a systems level project I want to play around with, however GC is not a deal breaker for me. ", it seems like they are making an implied reference to D as I assume "systems level" means "compile to object code and link with linker to executable".

Search this forum or HN for Paulo and Oberon, you'll find plenty of posts like this, where he lists all of them: :)

Oops, I forgot that Go was garbage collected.
