What's the reason to prefer LDC over DMD?
Anyone that cares about performance will use LDC rather than
DMD. It's hard to imagine a case where someone would want
betterC to avoid the GC, but they wouldn't want to use LDC.
When I started using D many years ago, LDC was behind DMD, so
you needed to use DMD to have a current compiler. That's no
longer true. The only reason I use DMD today is the faster
compilation speed when I'm doing a lot of write-compile-debug
iterations.
Good to know, thank you. The posts I've seen so far online
suggesting to start with DMD must've been outdated, then.
