*Sigh* They gave the link to the old site rather than the d-programming- language.org, and since www.digitialmars.com only redirects on the main page, the link doesn't get redirected to the correct place.

Awesome! Two things, though:
1. When will this actually happen? Is GCC 4.7 going to have GDC in it?
2. How will the impedance mismatch between DMD Front End's fast release cycle and GCC's slower release cycle be handled? I'm definitely not going to use the "official" version of GDC packaged with my Linux distro or MinGW or whatever when the front end is several versions out of date and each front end update contains major bug fixes and additions to Phobos.

I would imagine that the official releases would be 1 frontend version behind DMD - given that there is a 2 month period of bug-fixes only before release. Whilst the development trunk/snapshots will remain in sync. Again, can't really say - it's too soon to be asking this. :~) Regards Iain |

Why not just write a redirect rule from the old D pages to the new ones?

I'm definitely not going to use the "official" version of GDC packaged with my Linux distro or MinGW or whatever when the front end is several versions out of date and each front end update contains major bug fixes and additions to Phobos. Even if this is an issue at first, I'd bet it will become less and less significant as DMD/Phobos improve and solidify. |

Posted in reply to Nick Sabalausky | Maybe if this was posted on Reddit it would get some vocal support and give the GNU guys reassurance that D is a sought-after language. Anyway this is great news! Congrats to Iain Buclaw and anyone else who helped. |
