Anyone can shed light on why this is so? Is there just too much
evolution at the moment that the ABI needs to be constantly
updated? Or was there a failure to include sufficient ABI, name
mangling etc. rules into the specificiation? Can this be
expected to change in the foreseeable future?
See [1] and in particular [2] for how horrible this can be if
that's something you care about. There's a reason why dub
packages are compiled (automatically) locally for your current
toolchain.
slow.
This reminds me my last discussion with the C++ guru at work...
Every complaint of mine against the language, he argued against
in terms of performance. I felt every argument of this could be
reused to abandon C++ in favor of C (which would make me happy
lol).
