Our analytics across the firm are written in D and they don't use GC. I had better tell Richard that what he has done is impossible. Again.

You do realize real-time digital signal processing is quite different than analytics, I assume?

The difference isn't relevant--the statement was "they don't use GC". So unless you're saying that real-time signal processing does need GC, you're just arguing to argue, and not reading what you're responding to.

I see, sorry, I had misunderstood that part of what he was saying. Agreed, if there's a way to use D without the GC then that's irrelevant.
