Great! Quick question - are you supporting or considering supporting
D2? I looked on the project's home page and couldn't find that

Thanks,

D2 support in LDC has been started, but it does not have any of D2's
features implemented. I believe all that has been done is the frontend
added. Last time I checked ldc + d2 would not compile.
I believe that the plan is to make D1 solid (more so than DMD), before
moving on to D2. One of the developers might be able to give a more
accurate status.
That's pretty accurate, actually.
A while back somebody sent in a patch to get D2 support working, but by
the time it got properly reviewed it was already outdated...
The main problem on this front is that nobody currently working on LDC
is particularly interested in D2.
I actually thought about giving this a try about a week ago. I managed
to get all but one file to compile with the current version of the D2
front end (2.021 I believe)... Not bad considering my (lack of) C/C++
knowledge. If there's some interest for it I suppose I could give it
another shot and try to merge the latest front end, it'd be a good
chance for me to finally learn C/C++ (I made the <del>mistake</del>
decision to learn D first... I found it too awesome to bother learning
the obviously inferior C/C++ :P).
