Ironically, you guys complained in this thread when that gets

I agree that having a native D backend is a good thing. In fact,
I'd very much like to see WebAssembly/asm.js codegen built around
a backend that create compact builds since download size is an
issue. Which is a different kind of "performance".
I just don't see how I could use the current backend to achieve
it. Maybe with your experience you could at some point in the
future lay the foundation for a new a free backend, that is more
minimalistic than LLVM, but that also could be used for the web?
