As of last week (7th May), GCC 10.1 has now been released.
For the D language front-end, only a small number of
incremental, but substantial changes have gone in. Most
notable of the lot has been the addition of `static foreach`,
which makes the front-end (the C++ port of DMD) feature
complete with DMD version 2.076.1. There is also now a
configurable separation between building Druntime and Phobos,
which has allowed many targets to have gained library support
for building a D runtime library by disabling the build of
Phobos.

Great work! Great plans! I wish you good luck with your goals,
and hope you can attract people to help you. Did you ever
consider to mentor a student for Google-summer-of-code?
We (Amaury and I) did interview a couple of potential students a
number of years back, possibly the only time GSOC accepted the
Dlang submission. Nothing came out of it, which was just as well
really as all ideas I had were really vague. Besides, I didn't
feel like there was much that could be done while D was still not
integrated into GCC.
Haven't thought much about it since though.
