Sorry to hear that. Since I do not belive Microsoft changed

So is there a chance Digital Mars and D main development is
getting bought by Microsoft?

They have C++ and C#. What do they need D for?
C# yes... they have. C++ they have just the windows world which
is just a small part of the C++ ecosystem. The rest is mostly
shared between GNU Compilers and LLVM.
Well, gladly LLVM also play D now, so even a takeover from M$
might not lead to more but in worst case a fork. So if DM is in a
"we would do such deal" mood, it would be wise for the D
community to bet on ldc. Also I hope GDC will see a revival one
day.
