Want to share the outcome of a vivid discussion today at the
Munich D Meetup with you.
Installation of a D Compiler is ok-ish. But sometime you don't
want to install it. Sometimes you want a very clean
compiler-environment. Sometimes you want to compile your
projects in the cloud and not on your local PC.
To ease this a bit I drafted Docker Images for the Compilers
(dmd, ldc, gdc, sdc) [1]. Based on this you have a clean
compilation environment. And you even could use dub with it. No
installation anymore.
Seems to be very useful for testing. I have mostly only the
latest stable dmd installed in the system. But need to test
against elder versions and other compilers before travis reports
that the build fails.
