Perhaps someone could update the website to mention that the project is still 
active?

Awesome news! I think we need to take the hiccup as a warning to be more
mindful of compilers and library bugs reported on behalf of QtD.

Thanks! I find it reasonable to lower our expectations of the 
language/tools for a while. I've decided to go on without const and 
other goodies like the scarcely implemented alias this.


For now, the most important for me are the issues with struct lifetime 
management. For example, destructors should be called on global struct 
instances. And this one is critical:

It would be great if we soon had a complete and debugged implementation 
of the struct semantics described in TDPL.

Yes, I know it's an important one.

Qt ia not only GUI - it also have network, database and data 
structures classes. Which makes me wonder (@to the Qt guys): do you 
plan, once the data structures bindings are done, to add the ranges 
interfaces to them?

This is indeed good news. I don't do enough with GUIs, but having GUI 
library(s) will be a big requirement in D succeeding Good Luck.

Is anyone using QtD also on the beta mailing list? Don has taking on a point 
that we should not have known regressions newer than something like dmd 2.37 
(until all known regressions have been eliminated) And this will be good for 
all projects.

And Gour, I suppose you get some thanks for giving QtD the pat on the back they 
missed. Good luck.

Thanks! I'm not using QtD in my current project but it is 100% sure 
that I'll want to use it in the future. 

I would love to help but I need a lot more practice with the language 
(and time).

Yay! Good luck, and hope Walter and co will give your bug reports some
higher priority. I think that is the right thing to do now.
