Audio FX plugins that do realtime DSP and game/graphics stuff come to mind. I'd rather have the language give me a choice because it's very convenient to have. You'd be surprised how performant even GC'ed code in D's can be.

Not if you wish to use the standard library though right ?

Some of it is nogc compatible, some of it isn't

All functions in the stdlib that are nogc are marked "nogc" in their definition
