It is, however keeping LDC and GCC up to date is a volunteer effort with not enough people, so they are always a bit behind dmd.

Still much better than GCCGO, kind of useless for anything beyond Go 1.18, no one is updating it any longer, and may as well join gcj.

LDC isn't regularly behind DMD lately. The issue lately has been more the release process with respect to DMD. People issues impacting that.

Which was my point, volunteer work without enough people.

Having written real code in D, I can say that the slight discrepancy between dmd, LDC, and gdc isn't a roadblock in practice.

Depends how creative you happen to be with some features.

For regular common code that is indeed not an issue.
