D is not a compiler, it is a language. Furthermore it is not true that
DMDs backend is rubbish and there are already more backends than just
the DMC backend.
DMD: DMC backend, _fast code gen_ and very pleasant to use for debug builds.
GDC: GCC backend, optimizes as well as GCC. This is what I use for
release. Takes about three times longer for a debug build than DMD. A
lot less usable for edit-compile-test cycle than DMD.
LDC: LLVM backend, implements some additional optimizations in the front
end. I don't have LDC installed, but iirc it is also a lot slower than DMD.
I think it would be nice if you stopped spreading FUD. You seem to have
reasonable requests.
