   PellesC has a new release candidate. LCC-WIN32 (compatible with what standard???) has a steady stream of releases. Openwatcom v2 has also changes. VS is only good for VisualD.

   D is a viable alternative to C++, period, not necessarily to C. I believe a rewrite of Xorg in D would be googd. The only problem with all these languages is that you cannot e.g. create a dll in Ada and generate appropriate headers to use i

    For a man struggling years with Matlab/Octave and Scilab, I decided one year ago that Python3 is better. And never looked back even if packages had a delay in catching up. Julia is good. I will re-evaluate in 1-2 years.

    I use ghostscript consistently more than ten years. No serious issues. I use it to read/print pdfs/pss from arxiv org. Last six years I also use sumatra. Faster but I prefer mupdf reader.
