Is there some D tricks I can use to make the
`reverseComplement` function more concise and speedy? Any other
comments for improvement of the whole solution are also much
appreciated.
You might try using ldc in release mode. With dmd, cost of
ranges and so on might be higher than doing it in a more direct
low-level way. With ldc that difference often seems to shrink to
insignificance as its optimisation is more powerful. If you care
about performance then use ldc or gdc. (I have less experience
with gdc, but probably similar). But then it's best to compare
results under ldc because the ratios of different options will be
different vs dmd.
