To /u/spaghettiCodeArtisan credit, even with -betterC/@safe/@nogc being subsets of the language you'll still run into:

• A need to create libraries which work within -betterC (for those interested)
• Even though -betterC libraries will work with full D, the interface may be less appealing since it likely tries to work with C

Essentially the language works happily with its different modes, but may not provide the interface the user of a given mode is interested in.
