I recall watching one of the DConf videos (possibly from last year), about a new improved GC being in the works.

What is the current state of play for that work?

Is it likely to be merged and available for use this year?

Is the work still in progress, or has it maybe been abandoned?

Thanks.

Still in progress.

There is a lot of work surrounding the GC that has to be done first.

I.e. https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/21289
