No. IRC is currently planed to be replaced by this: https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pull/182/files -Alex

Generally, when talking about a DIP, referring to it with its title so people know what it is is desirable. A url to it is even better!

My assessment is it's accepted that 2014 is dead; it fails for the same reasons that copy-ctor's were introduced, and there are other efforts working to replace it.

It succeeded in the sense that it convinced Walter and Andrei that it was necessary to have something similar to move constructors in D even though ideally they wouldn't be necessary, but it did indeed ultimately fail in the sense that it was trying to introduce the move equivalent of postblit constructors when we were in the process of figuring out how to replace postblit constructors given their issues. So, the DIP was an important step forward, but it's clearly not going to be implemented as-is. - Jonathan M Davis
