Last things I remember:
- DmD is strictly 32-bit
- Someone ported a chronically outdated D-compiler variant to Linux x86_64
The ideas behind DmD looked promising to me. But most of my programs
showed at least a 2-fold performance increase once they were re-written
for 64-bit.
Only on 64-bit systems. Which are already ridiculously fast anyway. So what
if they get some more performance? They already have gobs of performance to
spare. On a 32-bit system it changes the programs performance down to "It
don't f** work at all", which is the mark of an incredibly arrogant
developer who likes to shoot themself in the foot by arbitrarily shrinking
their own potential user base.
Therefore 32-bit compilers are just wasting my time, and this is why I've
lost track of DmD.
They should make roads that are only usable by Italian sports cars, and take
full advantage of their special characteristics. Any other roads are just
wasting my time.
those are *fine* cars, aren't they?
but seriously, your argument is ridiculously wrong since velocity is
dependent on the observer.
the OP said and I quote: "32-bit compilers are just wasting *my* time"
(emphasis added).
