The ideas behind DmD looked promising to me. But most of my programs
showed at least a 2-fold performance increase once they were
re-written for 64-bit. Therefore 32-bit compilers are just wasting my
time, and this is why I've lost track of DmD.
After a certain waiting period I'd now like to know from the well
informed amongst you if there are any indications that DmD will
eventually evolve to support current CPU architectures?
Thanks.
I believe 64bit support is on Walter's todo list after the spec for D2
is finished.
I too remember this statement by Walter, but I can't find his post to
prove it. So it (64-bit) can't be too far away.
