I am the lead developer of Vlang.
Vlang is still being actively worked on. We are not pushing in more recent code into Github since the code requires Github HEAD version of DMD to compile. We are using some metaprogramming features that are available only with the development version of DMD.

I am really sorry for the poor webpage. We are actively working on that front, but progress is slow since we need to give priority to customer projects. We are an unfunded startup in India and provide chip verification services for surviving.
Unlike mainstream software, it requires a lot of effort to get hardware guys interested in software. But we believe (and have demonstrated) that Vlang has certain advantages over commercial chip verification languages. And we continue to develop it further to gain more advantage. We expect to push in more code into Github once DMD 2.068 gets released.

You could push to a different branch ("develop" perhaps) and make a note in the readme (in both "master" and "develop") about the different DMD version requirements.

Also Tango folks forked D1 to create Amber - https://bitbucket.org/larsivi/amber/wiki/Home (it seems it's not actively developed right now) |

Thanks Andrei.
And thanks again to Walter, yourself, Kenji and other developers who together made D a wonderful language.

It seems Vlang appeared silent for a while. Puneet was very busy with core simulator and I was not able to help him. Now I suppose I will have some time for a while and i need to start working on vlang.
In any caese neither Puneet nor me are professional EDA designers, we are more users. We really need a community around vlang so that our future ideas can be on able hands. Why not joining us? for many of upu eda will possibly a new domain.
