Worth mentioning:

The final call to dmd that compiles 117 klines (~80 files) of D code in one show and links dmd takes 1.1 seconds on my laptop. Pretty darn cool. Thank you!

Cool stuff!

What's the plan going forward, for those not so much up to date with what's going on? Is the next major release of DMD gonna be D-DMD based then? Which compiler is going to be used to compile D-DMD?

Congratulations.

I am very impressed by the young talent in the D community.  I asked one such chap how he knew so much, and he attributed it to learning from being around such top notch guys as you, Andrei, and the other contributors.

Should someone post to Reddit ?
