Thanks to Dr Brian Callahan!
I don't have an HN or Reddit account so I'll reply here.
First, thanks. But second, all I really did was the last mile
stuff. Lots of people did nearly all of the work before I came
along, which I hope I made enough mention of in my blog post.
I've also opened a bug report for GDC:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99691
But it looks like Iain was already on it, so I suspect we
really want to thank him more than me for the GDC parts!
Kai did the initial druntime/phobos bindings. I fixed them after
a number years of the port going stale, and removed pretty much
all platform-specific bindings from phobos in the process (brk
still remains, but I think it's better just to deprecate that
experimental allocator).
The all non-gdc bits had been upstreamed with the last remants
sitting uncommitted on a VM waiting for the last few failing
tests of the testsuite to be fixed.
I think it would be a fair attribute Kai and I for the 95% that
was enough to get ldc and gdc working respectively. It was only a
matter of time before someone would port dmd as well. :-)
