Integrating this with a pre-compiled ldc library is a fantastic idea
OTOH.
If we can make this work, it will be much less effort and yield the fastest implementation. Also would speed up the development cycle a bit
b/c the kernels don't need to be recompiled/optimized.

You mean dmd/ldc/etc interop at binary level? Yes, that would be pretty
rad indeed! -- Andrei

Independent from Mir, a stable ABI for D which all compilers follow would be a tremendous win, especially from the perspective of shipping D stuff in Linux distributions.
So maybe this is worth attempting?
