It's the end of Q1. Walter and I reviewed our vision document. We're staying the course with one important addition: switching to ddmd, hopefully with 2.068.

I see that the memory management item is still there. What's going on with std.allocator? I have a few projects (some on Github, some at EMSI) that use it because it seemed like it was on its way to being in Phobos. What can I do to help with this?

I'm hard at work on it. https://github.com/andralex/phobos/tree/allocator

Thanks for offering! I think the best thing to do will be test harnesses and performance evaluation. Let's discuss that more when I get closer to something reviewable for Phobos.

Is the workflow for getting into std.experimental defined - i.e, does it have to be reviewed before going into std.experimental or after?

We didn't discuss that much yet, but in all likelihood we need two stages of review: general fitness assessment for std.experimental, then a much stronger scrutiny for admission into std. -- Andrei

maybe wishful thinking, but it would be nice if this was on dub until it does get some sort of review, but I'm not sure how much work it would take to get it on there.

Regarding "C++ integration". I'm working on https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14178 which is the first step to get STL working.

It would be great to have dmd on embedded platforms.
