In a medium-sized project, do the compiler bugs really get all too frequent or something, and if so, is it simple to find workarounds?
It's still quite bad atm. If you spent a whole day programming in D, you'd probably find at least one compiler bug, especially if you have optimisations enabled. You'll also probably find quite a lot of code that is supposed to compile, but doesn't, and this isn't documented anywhere (at least not in a useful way).
There's almost always workarounds, but that's not the problem. The problem is trying to figure out whether the bug is in your code or the compiler.
Because I guess, quite frankly... if Derelict works, I have nearly no reason to keep doing C++. In fact, the ease of meta and generative programming in D makes me wonder if it's not much easier make the game engine in it.
Yes, Derelict is a very nice set of libraries :-)
