The Wikipedia page history section [0] talks about stability. The most relevant part is this:

> The release of Andrei Alexandrescu's book The D Programming Language on June 12, 2010, marked the stabilization of D2, which today is commonly referred to as just "D".

In other words, D is backwards compatible for 10 years now. At least, I don't know any breaks and the little code I have in D never broke.

The transition from D1 to D2 did break backwards compatibility in 2007. The change is comparable to the Python2 to Python3 transition but in a much smaller community. Outdated news from that time still pop up sometimes. Maybe you heard something related to that?

So basically if i write some D code now it'll keep working (assuming no OS ABI changes) and compiling in 20 years from today? I'm ok with very minor changes due to compiler bugs or whatever.

I wonder what that complain was about then.

I have code that I wrote on D like in early 2010's, and keeps working with very minor changes.
