What's some top 3 things I should know about that has happened in 
2022 and might change how I should write D (I've heard there are 
some depreciations for example)?

Thanks ☀️

He stepped down from his role as comaintainer of the language, 
which Atila now fills, but is still involved with the foundation, 
yes.

The biggest development with GDC is that it is now using the latest 
frontend, instead of a really old, slightly improved, C++ front end.

Does `GDC` has a Windows version?

This is the GDC page, it has a link to a windows project that may work. 
I have not tried it.

https://gdcproject.org/downloads

It also mentions that you should download gcc instead of gdc. So maybe 
try downloading directly from gcc.gnu.org.

I hope there is a latest version of `gdc` that is directly 
available on windows.

GDC has been removed from winlibs, meaning that there is now no 
working, not even an experimental, GDC for Windows.

We have to use `ldc` and `dmd`.

Did they specify a reason for the removal?  Is there a chance it 
might come back?

I poked around Winlibs looking for release notes, but found 
nothing relevant.

Nope.  I remember that a few months ago, one could download the 
latest GDC, as well as everything else.  Now, GDC has been 
scrubbed from all downloads.

I don't think so. GCC and msvc are two separate tool chains.

It should now work more or less as dependencies in ~master (Martin did 
the recent refinement).

Of course that won't help you as someone found out yesterday if you try 
to use it with dmd and suddenly get a random RTInfoImpl unknown symbol 
linker error.
