The usage of higher-order functions is pervasive in Scala, and they use delegates. So optimiizing those delegates was quite high on the priority list of optimization to perform. In functional-style programming people use first-class functions all the time, so they have to be optimized. That's why D2 may need to do the same if it wants people to use functional-style programming :-) >DMC++ does a good job of eliminating many virtual calls.< I have not found much of such capability in DMD. If DMD too performs that, then can you show me 1 example when it's performed? :-) >[LTO in LDC] I didn't know that.< Note: LTO isn't done automatically yet by LDC, so to do it you have to input 3 different commands. Ask (to me, for example) if you want to know them. Bye, bearophile
