Awesome, great work!
I really really hate waiting for the compiler.
OTOH, I really really hate that the compiler, in the name of
faster compilation, eats up all available RAM and gets
OOM-killed on a low memory system, so no amount of waiting will
get me an executable.
Now that the compiler is completely in D, wouldn't it be a good
idea to activate the GC in the compiler. I know that it requires
some care for bootstrapping the compiler when there are
dependencies to the D runtime, but the compiler would be an
excellent example of the advantage of the GC (i.e. dumb fast
allocations as long as there's memory, collection when no memory
left which is miles away better than to get OOM-killed).
