I'm not going to argue this much further. Essentially Mir is
touted as a highly generic and portable library. Having it
only work on one language implementation works against that
statement, the credibility of Mir, and the credibility of D
as an universal platform for creating fast code.
Isn't it just a matter of adding "version(LDC)" around the
more optimized blocks?
Having it work in DMD, however slower, is good enough.
50 times slower for modern CPUs.
version (DMD)
{
pragma(message, "It seems you are building with DMD instead
of LDC. Be aware that some functions will go up to 50x slower");
}
=> no misrepresentation of Mir performance
=> the user testing Mir keeps testing instead of having it not
working
