It's been a long and often frustrating endeavor, but we made it and I'm very pleased with the results. Congratulations to everyone involved. Have a good discussion at DCONF, and I am already eager to hear what the next main focus in the near future will be.

It was marked superseded because the implementation differs significantly enough from the proposal that it would require a near complete rewrite.

Don't hold your breath. :) With the disclaimer that I don't and can't speak for my employer, the automotive industry takes safety very seriously and embraces standards and guidelines like ISO 26262, MISRA, AUTOSAR, etc. I think every manufacturer should scrutinize all hardware and software components including compilers and libraries that they use. Coding guidelines like MISRA and AUTOSAR have been developed and matured for C++ for years. There is no equivalent for D for it to be even considered by the automotive industry. > Cheers, > Piotrek Ali

This is a great sign that D can get more awareness in the automotive industry. Looking forward to D on wheels. Cheers, Piotrek
