I think that's pretty wasteful, why won't you just use clang?
What's the
point of competing with another opensource project (a very good
one,
that took a lot of men-hour to do a good C/C++ compiler,
including the
preprocessor). I understand Walter did this in a couple of
weeks, clang
have been developed for at least 7 years now, is totally
understandable
that clang outperforms warp, is enough merit for warp to
outperform GCC.
I mean, if someone wants to have fun, go ahead, but putting
community
effort on that where there are so many places that are more
important to
put the effort on seems a bit silly.
Walter taking 2 weeks to do something comparable to what the
clang and gcc guys have done over many years, serves as massive
advertising for D.
Also, here we now have an entire project written by the man
himself. That should serve as required reading for anybody who
wants to learn how to code in the latest D.
And it serves as a benchmark for the best C++ coders. They can
try to do the same in C++ in two weeks. (I bet by the end of the
two weeks the guys are ready to switch languages!)
