What is the most reliable D compiler: dmd, ldc, gdc?
Which can be used in production?
Why there are 3(maybe more) compilers and not just one?
What exactly do you define as stable?
i mean without bugs in compiler
Okay well all three compilers share a frontend with all new work being
done in dmd.
GDC is the slowest to update currently so that can be ignored for now.
LDC has fairly fast updates in terms of the frontend and can target more
platforms.
So the question is simply, do you care about performance or platform
availability over faster bug fixes and new features?
Most people develop using dmd because of the fast turn around times, but
utilize ldc IF they need performance in the end program.
But in most cases you don't need to worry about performance or platform
support so dmd wins out.
