People told me I couldn't write a C compiler, then told me I
couldn't write a C++ compiler. I'm still the only person who
has ever implemented a complete C++ compiler (C++98). Then they
all (100%) laughed at me for starting D, saying nobody would
ever use it.
My whole career is built on stepping over people who told me I
couldn't do anything and wouldn't amount to anything.
LLVM is a fine compiler, but there's nothing magical about it.
Besides, we have a secret productivity enhancing weapon that
LLVM doesn't have - D!
Now, if I can only tear myself away from the internet for a
while...
Ok let's be very clear. It CAN be done (I even told you what
would be the most impact thing to do to move in that direction).
The question is, is it worth it ? I mean D has various issue, and
speed in not one of them.
