"The D Language Front-End Is Trying Now To Get Into GCC 9
Going on for a while now have been D language front-end patches
for GCC to allow this programming language to be supported by
the GNU Compiler Collection. It's been a long battle getting to
this state but it looks like it soon might be mainlined.
Last June was the approval by the GCC Steering Committee to
allow D support in GCC. While the committee approved of its
addition, the D language front-end didn't end up getting merged
in time for the GCC 8 stable release that took place earlier
this year." [1]

This looks like a tremendous amount of work! Bravo to the GDC
team and I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this patch getting
accepted into mainline.
