LLVM 13 released

[workman]

First I want to thanks kinke dedicated his personal time into 
this great project, without LDC the D language is a pure toy.


I guess D is a risk choice back to few years ago,  now there is 
too much choice with much bigger ecosystem. I guess the demand 
for LDC from company is reduced.


IMHO, LLVM Coroutines with async/await is important for 
Network/IO programming. Even basic support only for betterC will 
make a big different. But there is no manpower and resource to 
start this in the next few years. (C++/C#/Rust/Go/Javascript all 
have async/await), I know there is fake one with fiber, this is 
not the same thing compare to C++.


Beside async/await, the most wanted feature is 
trait/ownership/match from RUST. The cool kid dont deal with 
class/interface anymore.


I recall some time again Alex said we need support Vibed as high 
priority, but after years vibed/hunt web framework are not 
popular yet.

There is DFL/dlangui/dwt/gtkd for UI, all stoped except 
GTKD(linux only). You can checkout a lot cool GUI project from 
RUST.

There is some project for blockchain, non of them success to be 
able provide funds to the community.

D claim self as system programming language, I dont know what 
this meaning. You want java level memory safe with GC, that will 
never been accept by OS kernel.
