Unfortunately, having to use dmc for C or C++ in order to link it with D code in Windows would make D a non-starter for any project that couldn't be in pure D where I work. Most of our stuff is cross-platform between Linux and Windows, using gcc on Linux and Visual Studio on Windows, and I don't think that there's any hope of getting anyone to switch to using dmc. If D code could be linked with code generated by Microsoft's compiler, then I'd have a much better chance of getting folks where I work to use D. As it is, it would have to be for standalone projects only, and most of our projects aren't standalone.
I hadn't realized that was a barrier.
