What about one of the figures from:

	http://eusebeia.dyndns.org/~hsteoh/tmp/mascot.png

for the DMD icon? (Or any other pose that you might suggest -- I still have the povray files and can do a render in a different post.)

Nice, this is much better, with actual info on which compiler is best for the user.

Aren't i386 and x32 the same platforms?

Might be referring to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X32_ABI

I don't doubt we can catch up, and it might be worth for the very low hanging fruit. But our real problem isn't the backend but the amount of bugs and small ecosystem when compared with other languages like go, scala, swift, or even rust.

This is a simple matter of priorities.
Whether or not D succeeds won't depend on SETcc vs. SBB, but it does
depend on us delivering the most useful ecosystem.
It's so much more important to move forward with
https://trello.com/c/YoAFvV5n/6-313-314 or
https://trello.com/c/1dQh4gxm/35-drop-property, or improve backtraces
https://trello.com/c/FbuWfpVE/54-backtraces-with-line-numbers, no matter
how much these codegen inefficiencies tickle your ambition.
