Has anyone ever successfully tried to carve out a “GC-free” subset of some GC’d language? All of the attempts I can think of have been failures.

Does D’s “Better C” mode count as a failure in your book? It does remove GC, but also a bunch of other runtime-related stuff like classes, exceptions, and runtime type information.

D also has a @nogc attribute without having to go all the way to “better C” mode, and there’s apparently been work recently on making it more usable, like https://dlang.org/blog/2017/04/28/automem-hands-free-raii-for-d/ …

Yeah…I’m pretty skeptical that it’ll pan out, but I could be wrong.
