to Razvan for running it and to Dennis for recording it.

I also would have reminded everyone that one of our major goals
right now is to strengthen the ecosystem. We're absolutely
willing to throw some money at code-d and any other important
projects in our ecosystem where that money can help get
something done. We have over $11,000 sitting in our
OpenCollective account that can be used for this sort of thing.
Jan or anyone working on a key D project is welcome to reach
out to me to discuss possibilities: bug bounties, contract work
for specific tasks, etc.
Some of the important ecosystem projects when I teach D are
code-d, IntelliJ support, and fixing issues for MacOS (e.g.
Having to type out 'export MACOSX_DEVELOPMENT=13.0' or something
similar for the tools is tricky for students).
The current Symmetry of Code projects (Dfmt, C++ Interop, etc.)
and d-scanner are also very valuable tools for adoption in my
opinion -- appreciate the efforts for those contributing to the
tooling ecosystem!
