"The D Language Front-End Is Trying Now To Get Into GCC 9

Going on for a while now have been D language front-end patches 
for GCC to allow this programming language to be supported by 
the GNU Compiler Collection. It's been a long battle getting to 
this state but it looks like it soon might be mainlined.


Last June was the approval by the GCC Steering Committee to 
allow D support in GCC. While the committee approved of its 
addition, the D language front-end didn't end up getting merged 
in time for the GCC 8 stable release that took place earlier 
this year." [1]

This looks like a tremendous amount of work! Bravo to the GDC 
team and I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this patch getting 
accepted into mainline.
