Maybe not the original meaning of the promise but:

Despite the lack of update it has kept progressing and I'm within 
an inch or two of breaking the silence and making a new 
announcement. It's pretty close to usability with C++ libraries 
of any complexity.

The approach is not the official one though, and ties yourself to 
LDC until probably a very long time. (Calypso was helped by the 
code cleanness of Clang, does GCC offer things like template 
instantiation or vtable manipulation by an outsider without 
having to alter too much the code of GCC? and a DMD version would 
probably be multiple orders of magnitude harder to do)
