I was reading the other thread "Speed kills" and was wondering if
there is any practical reason why DMD is the official compiler?
Walter Bright is the lead developer, and for legal reasons he will
never touch source code from a compiler he didn't write. And since
DMD is something like twice as fast as LDC, there's at least some
argument in favor of keeping it around.
Should Walter retire, there's a reasonable chance that LDC will
become the primary compiler. However, compilation speed is important.
I'm not sure how different LDC and DMD are, but perhaps you could use
DMD for development and LDC for production builds?
Correct me, but If I understand correctly what I read on other
threads, LDC & GDC uses the same frontend that DMD, but a few versions
more older because they need to update the glue layer the front end
with lvm/gnu backend ?
