gdc is 100% Iain Buclaw. But he and Walter collaborate on needs for gcc compatibility, as long as Iain is around, gdc will be around.

It is true we have a small team. But we are a dedicated team.

And was for several releases delayed due to personal issues, which is understandable in a small team among open source projects, however it is a problem.

So uh, funny story: I didn’t know this a few years back. GDC was missing the sqlite interface in GDC’s phobos. This made it so the dlang onedrive client and some other packages wouldn’t compile with it. Situation was like this for years: https://forum.dlang.org/thread/doevjetmiwxovecplksr@forum.dl...

I eventually complained that it was easier to argue with Walter about politics on HN than get a library fixed on his programming language. Fortunately the right people saw it and it was fixed soon after: https://bugs.gentoo.org/722094
