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.
Just to reiterate my point: I'd say a 30% penalty would be still within
batting range of the best out there and would be my lower bound for
declaring dmd/Mir a success. -- Andrei
