I was hammering the Arch Linux package page for `gcc-d` waiting for the update to show up there, but it went from 11.2.0-4 to deleted. gcc-d 11.2.0-4 has been removed from the [core] repository. Does anyone know what's going on there?

Well, I'm pretty sure if we do this carefully we can have the best of both worlds. It is just important to get the interface right at this stage, then we can look at the other optimizations later with precompiling and such.

Something like this maybe https://fast.vlang.io/ Cheers. Thanks for the suggestion. Vladimir did in fact do that for dmd last decade, it only ran for a couple years though. Have been thinking about maybe reviving it every so often. https://blog.cy.md/2015/05/05/is-d-slim-yet/ Adam (maybe in a TWID post) did a few months back lament that D1 vs D2 equivalent code compiles slower with the latter. The bulk of which in the trivial case came from Druntime and how many modules are imported (D1 object.d had no imports, D2 object.d imports around 25 modules). Remove the excessive imports and the original speed was observed again. That's only one small example though of where perceived slowness comes from the library becoming more complex over time - and I expect it only to increase as more of the old opaque compiler-library interface is replaced with a templated interface that exposes the guts of what each helper does (for improved run-time performance, of course).

Hypothetically we could use something like callgrind to measure raw instruction counts but this becomes more and more synthetic the more data you collect.

Finally, GDC will be able to compile the up-to-date language. I will be seriously considering using gdc for my latest projects again. Huge thanks to Iain for all his hard work through all these years to make this happen! T -- If lightning were to ever strike an orchestra, it'd always hit the conductor first.

It might just be a flip of a switch to enable but could he a wild west in terms of some library features (if the latter I still vote for trying to enable it as long as hello world works)
