We have not new concurrents in this fields, but C/C++/Fortran.
Our problem is that we trying to be more hight level language
than the IT industry needs. Lets forget about Go and Rust
"concurrents" and remember about the initial D goal, which is
more actual then ever: replace C/C++ in the IT industry.

To me, it seems pointless to support Mir in DMD. The
"functionality" that it brings is speed. Nobody needing
absolutely the fastest code is not going to have any interest in
DMD. From what I understand of Mir (but correct me if I'm wrong)
it is easy enough to replicate its functionality by linking to
existing linear algebra libraries. Others can construct a
compatible interface if that's something they want.
I think Ilya and everyone else working on Mir should push forward
with the LDC-based project. Anything else is a distraction.
