So comparing to llvm the idea of optimizing backend comes with:
1) LLVM optimizes code much better than DMD for now. And it's in active
development, so it always will be far from DMD.
In producing better code very it well may be. Faster - I don't think so.
2) LLVM has over 120k commits, it has many financial investments from
Google and Apple. Are you sure that ONE Walter can achieve what they done ?
3) LLVM supports many platforms while DMD will never support anything
different from x86.
We do not need to do the new LLVM thing. Then the rest of argument is
destroyed.
I think it's really better to fix current bugs than waste the time.
Fixing bugs is certainly of higher priority but we need them found and
reported first.
