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. Current
implementation does memory leaks, works slow and has some other
disadvantages.
But no one of the « real » developers sees reason to rewrite the
gc, because they want to play with theirs toys bringing new not
so essential stuff to the d.
And we will suffer from this many years.
