To me, it seems pointless to support Mir in DMD. The

functionality by linking to existing linear algebra libraries.
Others
can construct a compatible interface if that's something they

I think Ilya and everyone else working on Mir should push
forward with
the LDC-based project. Anything else is a distraction.
He mentions several front end issues, those apply to LDC as
well.
No, LDC for example does not have the issue
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16488 and others too.
