Starting with an introduction to GDC, what of the D language is implemented (and what isn't). Will give an overview/insight into implementing a new GCC Frontend for a language that has only started to come out of academic mode, along with challenges faced along the way. Will go on to talk about future developments, in particular focusing on the expansion of D, including targeting more architectures, future shared library support in the runtime, and implementing the D frontend for GCC itself in D.
