Yes agreed, we don't want this to become the reference
implementation.
But just as the OP mentioned I think the cost for a workable dmd
support is fairly high, in terms of missing dmd features and
porting mir to dmd.
Integrating this with a pre-compiled ldc library is a fantastic
idea OTOH.
If we can make this work, it will be much less effort and yield
the fastest implementation. Also would speed up the development
cycle a bit b/c the kernels don't need to be recompiled/optimized.
