I am not aware of any other chess engine written with the D
language.
The source can be compiled with dmd, ldc or gdc, but the best
performance are obtained with the latter (almost twice faster).
This is my first program using the D language (I am a former C
programmer), and I enjoyed it a lot.
LDC might benefit from copying the _popcnt source from ldc's
druntime in to your code as it has a problem inlining it from
druntime. You might also see a benefit from the -single-obj flag
(enabled by default in ldmd).
