In Nov 2022, Walter seems to be OK with *opt-in* pointer write barriers: https://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected] Adam D. Ruppe: http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.Posted_2022_10_31.html#thoughts-on-pointer-barriers Ate Eskola also posted this idea today: https://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected] Write barriers can enable different GC strategies, but the idea is write barriers would not be on by default because they would slow down non-GC code.
