In the forum, I saw a thread about someone working on a new
GC. Just wanted to know if there's any updates on that. And
what issues is it going to fix..
Personally, I would be greatly delighted if it acknowledges
the Stop-The-World problem[1]. Going around it is shown not
to be impossible[2]. I do understand it's not trivial task
but how is the community/core devs supporting this?

The new precise GC will be never added to druntime.
It is dead, man.
Are you real developer of new GC?
I am that who sees _no progress_ for many years.
Slow progress != no progess [1]
Current implementation does memory leaks
Which bug reports are you referring to specifically?
works slow
It's not the best a non-generational stop-the-world
mark-and-sweep GC can be, but in my experience it's good enough
for non-realtime applications as long as you don't use it for
huge memory chunks (i.e. stick to objects without large arrays).
and has some other disadvantages.
Which are you referring to?
And we will suffer from this many years.
Have you read the excellent blog posts about to use the GC in D
by Micheal Parker [2][3]?
