Here are updates on some of the projects Razvan Nitu, our Project 
Coordinator, is tracking. For reference, the Februrary updates 
are here:

Johnathan made progress on porting traits related to type 
introspection on functions. He had "either completed or nearly 
completed a number of them". Because of the extent to which 
they're related, he wanted to get the bulk of them done together 
so that he didn't have to go back and modify any of them. He 
didn't have any PRs for them yet, but he was close.



When he updated me, Razvan had not had a direct update from Steve 
recently, but he had been tracking Steve's progress on the GitHub 
repository:

https://github.com/symmetryinvestments/symgc

According to the README there, Steve has ported 36 of 37 files 
from the SDC GC implementation.



Atila has [submitted the Editions 
DIP](https://forum.dlang.org/post/epzrvlljudykzhgwrpku forum.dlang.org) to the
Development forum for feedback.



Dennis is handling DMD releases for now. He wants to keep to the 
same schedule we've had. He still needs to upload the new 
download index to our BackBlaze account and would be grateful for 
some help from anyone familiar with it.



The contributor application period opened on March 24th and 
closes today (April 8th). A big issue on the GSoC mailing lists 
this year is that many projects have been receiving "spam" 
proposals created by LLMs. Some projects have chosen to ignore 
them.

At the time he updated me (this past weekend), Razvan didn't know 
if we had received any such proposals. He needed to sync with the 
rest of the mentors to see where we were at.



Walter and Atila have conditionally approved Quirin Schroll's 
[DIP 1049, "Primary Type 
Synax"](https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/DIP1049.md). They've
requested some changes in how the parser disambiguates certain cases. The three
of them and myself had a meeting about it on March 29th. When Quirin is able to
make time for it, he will rework his implementation. If all goes well with
that, he'll revise the DIP as requested. Otherwise, Walter and Atila will have
to reconsider the initial implementation.
 
Razvan has been coordinating on some projects with Teodor Dutu, 
other students from their university, and one of Mike Shah's 
students. He can provide updates on those if there's any 
interest, so please let us know here if you'd like to hear about 
them.

I did not get caught up on the DLF meeting summaries last month 
as I'd intended. I've finished the first drafts for the November 
and December monthlies and the January quarterly. I'll publish 
the November one shortly after this post and the next two over 
the next two days. The January monthly will follow in a few days. 
Almost there!

And feel free to join Discord as well.

For example, Steven is doing small dev-blog about new GC there :)
https://discord.com/channels/242094594181955585/1346603062139027489

And many discussion about all beforementioned topics of course 
are there as well

Although don't expect it to be merged this week.
