Which is better for performance and stability in the D language, GDC or LDC? Which one do you prefer for your projects? I know DMD includes the language's new features early but considering its slower performance, I am thinking of switching to an alternative compiler.

For macOS - use LDC (the only nice option for M1 for example)
For Windows - again LDC (there was a project for GDC on Windows, but it is not in “just works” phase)
For Linux - you can try both GDC and LDC. It depends on the type of the code/tools - which will be more convenient, both of them have similar performance.

My usual practice is to use DMD for development because of the lightning speed compile times, and LDC for release builds.
