I suggestion we should focus fix bugs and improve 
support/platform/quality.

Keep improve IDE,  dub package, language server.

Finish the LDC support for IOS/Android,  (I read from forum 
history,  people say it take a weekend work to made IOS branch 
upgrade to latest version,  but last commit for IOS is 2017).

I see in this forum,  people talk about D will catch 
web/mobile/WASM wave since 2015 or even earlier.   But compare 
other language today,   DLANg Github trending is  empty almost 
every time when I check.  Lack of user  population is hurting D 
as vicious circle.   No people use, resulting in hidden bugs,   
and then lead to less people use.
