What are some languages with garbage-collection that are still considered very fast? ("as fast as C", as some claim):
- [D](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_(programming_language%29)
- [Rust](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(programming_language%29)
- [nim](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nim_(programming_language%29)
This suggests that D is more enjoyable to write code in, and Rust has better memory-safety.
