Fuzzed [1] is a simple fuzzer for the D programming language. It allows to detect sequences of tokens that crash the parser.

As experienced with dparse, invalid code tend to crash more a parser because of a cognitive bias that lead us, "hoomans", to prove that things work rather than the opposite.
Nice. In my experience fuzzing parses works very well. I have good memories with afl. So much so that I once wrote a wrapper around it to handle running it distributed.
See https://github.com/skoppe/afl-dist Could use a readme and a how-to though.
