Out of curiosity, how come the Objective-C integration seem to always 
lack behind when LDC merges a new DMD release with some new Objective-C 
integration? Is it less prioritized, not so much knowledge in this area, 
something else?

Basically all of the latter – many of us LDC devs are not really 
interested in the Objective-C integration for our own/company 
use, and kinke (who has been doing virtually all of the frontend 
merging work lately) IIRC doesn't have access to an OS X box. Not 
breaking existing features without direct access to a target is 
one thing, but implementing new features off the CI only is 
another.

Help would be very welcome, though.

In addition to what David said, the plan is to have longer beta 
periods for ldc from here on out, which is why this ldc beta was 
released so soon after the corresponding dmd release, two weeks, 
a new record. You're free to test it out and submit issues or 
pulls before the final ldc release, as I do for Android.
