I was curious how C++17's std::variant compared to the options
we have in D, like Algebraic and SumType, so I did a simple
comparison of the generated assembly for each of them. You can
read about it at the link below. And as you can probably guess
from the title, D comes out ahead, in the end.

This is my first attempt at sharing something like this, so
any comment or feedback is very much appreciated!
Good one. Any plans to push SumType as a replacement of Phobo's
Algebraic?
Phobos is essentially dead/frozen (feature-wise). Though if
someone ever manages to get v2 of the ground, SumType would be
the obvious choice.
Anyhow, currently we would have to name it differently (e.g. dts
- https://github.com/wilzbach/dts). Maybe the upcoming SAoC
project will change this and allow multiple versions of a library
to co-exist in a binary.
