I was just looking at the git hub pages for warp and flint and
I notice they've recently been labelled as "no longer

Now I could imagine that warp could be considered complete as
the C/C++ preprocessor doesn't change very often.
Flint could perhaps be replaced by something equilavent to the
C++ core guidelines

But adding a comment that the projects are no longer maintained
(presumably by a facebook employee) suggests an internal move
away from D.
It also invites speculation about either the cause or the
effect of Andrei's move to the D foundation.
Though this is of course jumping to conclusions based on very
little information.
What do you guys think?
There are other D people in FB, like deadalnix
(https://github.com/deadalnix).
