I am new to D. Where do I get a D compiler to build 64-bit

Searching the forum shows 64-bit support on Windows as
work-in-progress in 2013. Is this still the case?
Thanks.
Win64 is pretty well-supported for some time now, though you have
to install the MSVC toolchain to use it. The download page was
updated a couple months ago in a confusing way, all dmd compilers
support 64-bit compilation:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/593/files
What the download page means to say is that there's no 64-bit dmd
binary for Windows, but the 32-bit dmd binary will compile D
source into 64-bit Windows code also. I'd submit a pull to make
this clear, but I'm not sure where it should go on the page. It
should be fixed.
