If I have sources to all the library routines, not libraries

seeing how good LDC and GDC are, and the answer is extremely,
especially LDC, which perhaps has a slight edge in code
generation quality. I haven’t looked at AAarch64 code yet,
only AMD64. Very impressed with all the work!
Of course, DMD uses it's own custom backend so it's only fair
to not expect for it to have the same runtime performance and
optimizations as the other two compilers than use LLVM and GCC.
If you only use x86_64, DMD will be amazing for your debug
cycles!
I’ve never used DMD. I don’t support that it will run on Aarch64.
I’m running ldc on an ARM M2 Mac OSX. Also on x86-64 VMs at
Godbolt.org but I must get access to an x86-64 box myself.
