I remember Walter arguing against this type of solutions because it requires a C++ compiler to be bundled with D.
It doesn't require as much as makes it usable if you have it. Calypso requires dmd + clang++ is the natural dependency direction.
Does that mean that now we are adopting this path instead of 'extern(C++)' ?
I see it more like "with the help of" rather than "instead of". The extern(C++) feature is porcelain over a bunch of compiler internals that make it possible to use C++ in conjunction with D.
We should foster and support "plugin" tools like Calypso that add value to the D environment.
