I've got my Mac reinstalled. I haven't installed D (dmd) yet. I would like to hear what people think.

I'm thinking using home brew. And install the latest Code X.

Use the DMD installer instead on dlang.org

Any particular reason? I've been using homebrew for it. I like the simple command line update.

You need Xcode and I recommend installing using DVM [1]. It allows you to have multiple versions of DMD installed and you can easily switch between them [2].

Not really.
I didn't know it was up-to-date. Las time I tried it wasn't up-to-date for LDC and I tend to change compilers often, so I wrote if off.

What is the advantage from the site?

Should I use home brew for every thing else?

Oops, I got confused and installed with homebrew. I was going to try DVM.

Jacob is also the author of DVM, so he might be a bit biased. ;) I've had good experiences using Homebrew, although you sometimes have to wait a day or three for a new release to appear. — David

And you would never recommend LDC? ;)

DVM doesn't have that problem :). How easy is it to have multiple versions of DMD installed using Homebrew?

You can install using DVM as well, it will take precedence.
