I started working with it for DSP and game code recently. It hasn't posed any major issues yet. I am getting what I wanted out of the language - something that is more modern than C or C++, but retains much of the root lineage. There is a lot of room to configure things to your liking and disable things you don't want.

The standard library forking issue is far in the past now - which doesn't mean that it's as complete and comprehensive as it could be yet - for an example of one I ran into the other day, the "pure" annotation is absent from some math functions because they call out to C standard libraries which use global state for error codes.

But the things that are the focus now are mainly "nice-to-have" technologies that will be good for productivity - check out "std.experimental.allocator" for an idea of what's cooking. There are also multiple implementations of the compiler tech rolling around now, not just the Digital Mars one, which is a good sign for future quality.
