This will probably offend some people, but I think LDC/GDC should be
the default download on dlang.org, and dmd should be provided as an
alternative for those who want the latest language version and don't
mind the speed compromise.
I did make LDC default compiler used in Arch but now people are
unhappy with increased compile times so I may need to revert it back
:)
Can't please 'em all... According to Walter, many D users want fast
compile times, and aren't as concerned about performance of the
generated code. But from this thread's OP, it seems there's another
group of users who don't care about fast compile times but want the
generated code to squeeze every last drop of performance from their
CPUs.
So I guess we should be equally recommending all 3 compilers, with a
note to help people choose their compiler depending on their needs.
myOpinion = (fastCompileTimes * 10000 < fastCode);
