Yes, well we sponsor mir-algorithm, and would like to sponsor
dcompute too, but I haven't had any time. And I think it would
be by far premature for them to be in Phobos, because the
consequence of raising the bar for quality in Phobos has been
that it stifles the growth of new things. Mir itself was
originally in Phobos experimental and Ilya asked for it to be
withdrawn, for that very reason.
The situation is similar for DCompute with the added constraint
that it works exclusively with LDC and has only very recently
reached a state of being usable. Development is sporadic due to
my available time.
Laeeth, I'll be quite busy for the next couple of weeks so
there's no need to hurry.
