But my original question was about what you (Kagamin) called
"intermediate D". I was trying to understand what
"intermediate D"
is, and whether or not I could use "intermediate D" (whatever
it is)
to produce small(er) executables.
Regular D with a custom runtime library. You can get as small as
3 KB on Linux (though that is a super bare bones hello world).
But note that if you are distributing several executables you
might also just use the shared phobos lib too with
-defaultlib=libphobos2.so on Linux.
