What about Webassembly support? Latest LLVM suppport it, so LDC
should support also.
We don't support a lot of platforms that llvm supports. It will
require someone to work on the port, which hasn't happened. I've
said before that I don't think it's worth it, because the web has
been declining as a platform:

Hi everyone,
on behalf of the LDC team, I'm glad to announce the first beta
for LDC 1.9. The highlights of this version in a nutshell:
* Based on D 2.079.1, including new `-i` switch and support
for a minimal (d)runtime.
* Support for LLVM 6, used for all prebuilt packages (except
for Win32).
* `-link-internally` able to (cross-)link Windows, Linux and
macOS binaries.
* Prebuilt Linux and macOS packages now shipping with LTO-able
druntime/Phobos.
* Improved support for MIPS targets and the uClibc runtime
library.
* Various fixes, incl. druntime/Phobos/ldc-jit .dylib issues
on macOS.
Full release log and downloads:
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.9.0-beta1
Thanks to all contributors!
Looks that not all my druntime and phobos PR got in. Is this
because they were not included in 2.0.79 mainline release?
Yes, ldc releases are the same as dmd releases, with some
ldc-specific changes. We generally don't backport features from
upstream.
ATM uClibc is not usable as is, it doesn't even compile because
of various missing pieces, bummer :(
Yeah, this beta doesn't even have a MIPS backend. How much of the
testsuite do you have working on MIPS/uClibc? If you have it
pretty far along, we can probably cherry-pick what you need and
ship it with 1.9 for people to try.
