I have nothing else to tell you at the moment. I don't know why it has't been released yet, and I can't give you a date for when it will be. As soon as I know anything, I'll tell announce it.

I hope Iain would be able to return to packaging the releases at some point.
And Mike, please keep us posted when you have an update.

Thank you. Yes, I'll announce something as soon as I know it.

We're nearing four months since missing the deadline for a release, and there's still no announcement from the leadership, and there's apparently nobody available/interested enough to finish it up.

After more than a decade and hundreds of thousands of lines of code, I've started moving some of my projects to a new language. This only happens to projects that are close to death.

The project is nowhere near death. The compiler release is delayed, but everything else is moving along.

I have nothing to announce yet because I haven't been able to confirm what's going on with Iain. I'm expecting to have that confirmation soon, at which point I'll be able to make an announcement about when he'll be able to get the next release out or someone else will.

The release process is a multistep thing that, in its current state, is dependent on Iain. As I said earlier, he intends to simplify it so any of us could do it, but hasn’t gotten there yet.

If he were abducted by aliens, one of us would step in and replace it with a new process. We aren’t at the point yet for such an extreme measure.

Right now, our biggest priority here is making sure Iain is okay. Then we can figure out what to do about the releaae.

I wonder what is so important about the deadly? Or are you writing software that coordinates the take-off and landing of aircraft? Is there a fatal bug report you've made in the past that hasn't been fixed yet? A

As a D programmer, you have such power (ImportC) at your disposal that there is nothing you can't do despite the limitations of the language. In summary, even if there is no update for 1 year, it is not the end of life...

IMO, they are now spending the time they would have spent on monthly updates to release a better version. In summary, the expectation is great and I hope that will happen before the end of the year.

That is a bit extreme IMO. While I agree that it is annoying that the compiler is delayed it is by no means catastrophic. Just download a nightly if you really need a patched version. Otherwise, nothing has really changed on your end and nobody is going anywhere. Things like this happen all the time in volunteer only projects.

I think Julia just have more active and bigger community and ecosystem
And the state of D most probably will stay the same without significant changes - which is fine for others

Brilliant answer! My kudos to you.
