the development of precise GC, RC and so on?
Maybe we should organize a fundraiser on Kickstarter or somewhere 
else?
I'm not ready to write precise GC, but I'm willing to donate to 
those who are ready.

Over the summer there was a GSoC project to implement a Precise GC in D. 
The bulk of the work was completed but we got bogged down by the need to 
test and fix it's performance characteristics over multiple CPU types.

If you want to help you can look at this github branch and test it on 
your box and let us know what your results are: 
https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1603

You can also submit any fixes you come up with. That would be very helpful!

Same here. Would be happy to donate to the D Foundation or 
Kickstarter (could be the same) to accelerate the growth. Many OS 
projects have managed to grow with money and I am pretty sure 
that it's a lot easier to get motivated if you get real $$$ for 
it.

We can create an issue and start fundraising on Bountysource.
We can also donate to the D Language Foundation, but I personally 
would like to see the funds were used to develop precise GC and 
DIP74 (https://wiki.dlang.org/DIP74).
