From https://www.gdcproject.org/
The GNU D Compiler (GDC) project was originally started by
David Friedman in 2004 until early 2007 when he disappeared
from the D scene, and was no longer able to maintain GDC.
Following a revival attempt in 2008, GDC is now under the lead
of Iain Buclaw, who has been steering the project since 2009
with the assistance of its contributors. Without them, the
project would not have been nearly as successful as it has been.
The earliest forum post I could find from David Friedman is
"Another front end for GCC" here:
