I recently heard about dub and other useful things happening in the D world after being away from it for a long while. So, as you do I thought I would see what's going on.

Some things seem to never change (and never seem to get fixed). What is the situation with optlink and why can't it be fixed? http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4831
