I know how you feel: I want D 1.0, and I wants it now, but I would much
rather Walter takes his time and gets it *right*.

Which reminds me...

Walter: you have my undying gratitude for implicit template function
instantiation!  :)

This would be it.

I assume you mean the compiler; probably because the D front end hooks
into the DigitalMars C compiler, which is closed source, and which
Walter still sells.  Also, I highly doubt D will die just because it
isn't GPLed.  There is LOTS of software that hasn't died that weren't GPLed.

But, if you're absolutely desperate to have a GPLed D compiler, then
grab gdc which is the D front end hooked up to the gcc back end.  Linky:
