Next version will be 0.17 (based on 2.068 frontend still written in C++). But the next after next version will be 1.0 (based on 2.069 which includes the frontend written in D). Regards, Kai

The 30% measurement was based on comparing the previously completely C++ dmd with ddmd: http://forum.dlang.org/post/55c9f77b.8050...@dawg.eu Whoops, posted before I was done writing. The Travis CI run combines the time spent compiling ddmd, time spent compiling the druntime/phobos tests, and then running the tests. The original 30% comparison was only for time spent compiling a D codebase, like phobos or vibe.d. It's possible ldc takes longer to compile ddmd, but then the resulting ddmd takes less time to compile phobos. That would have to be separated out. It's also possible the backend is not the issue and the D frontend itself is slower than the C++ frontend, in which case using ldc to compile ddmd won't make a difference.

Congratulations! Has anyone on the LDC team done any benchmarks on how much faster ddmd is when compiled with LDC? ldc was recently added to the list of compilers that test ddmd continuously on travis CI: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/5025 The associated travis CI run that finally went green with ldc 0.16.0 beta 2 took about as long as the other D compilers, so performance of ldc-compiled ddmd seems comparable: https://travis-ci.org/D-Programming-Language/dmd/builds/85017266
