I'm re-visiting the D language. I've compared the file sizes of 2 executables -
1 is compiled C code using gcc; the other is D code using dmd.
helloWorld.d => helloWorld.exe = 146,972 bytes
ex1hello.c => ex1-hello.exe = 5,661 bytes
Why such a huge difference???

maybe somehow related:
i have a short program using GtkD. the exe is
~3MB if compiled using dmd and linked to pre-built GtkD.lib (16MB)
~2MB if compiled via bud/build following up on all imports directly, no linking
to pre-built lib
all compiler flags the same (-debug for exe, prebuilt lib is not debug but -O
-inline -release). on windows.
