People have been pinging you two for months with close to no effect.

Seeing as Rust is more or less a direct competitor to D, this is somewhat worrying. This suggests that the Rust devs (by that I mean people in the community that submit pulls) are able to iterate far faster than we are, and the gap between D and Rust is quickly closing.

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd - "77 contributors"
https://github.com/mozilla/rust - "392 contributors"

I am not surprised.

Also AFAIK Mozlla has a team of paid full-time programmers working on it, something D can only dream about.

Yes, it's not due to lack of talent in the D community, just numbers. This is why it is so worrying.
