Can you expand on why ddmd is getting delayed? I, and seemingly many others, were looking forward to ddmd. I did not see Daniel's talk as it wasn't livestreamed. Perhaps we can help get ddmd out the door.
The primary hang-up is that both gdc and ldc need to be at version 2.067 so that they can be used to compile ddmd and so that we can be sure that having 2.067 as the base for ddmd is going to work with all three compilers (also, we want to release a ddmd binary built by gdc or ldc, not dmd, so that we can avoid a speed drop in the resulting binary). As I understand it LLVM has a blocker in LLVM which currently prevents them from updating. I don't know about gdc. But regardless, those are going to need to be taken care of first.
