it still used outside Phobos or is Ilya or someone else
rewriting it?

Hello Ali,
ndslice was removed from Phobos because it is to hard to maintain
Phobos and Mir at the same time. It is better to have dub
packages instead of big Phobos, IMHO.
ndslice was completely rewritten and extended in mir-algorithm
package [0, 1] since ndslice was deprecated in Phobos. Its API
is stable enough and includes all kinds of tensors. New ndslice
is used in two Tamediadigital's projects [3, 4]. See also its
README for more details.
The old ndslice (like in Phobos) is located in parent Mir package
[2].
The last Mir version with old ndslice is v0.22.1.

If you have any questions about ndslice I would be happy to
answer.
Best regards,
