If this is what you want then I can be fine with it too. I just
wanted to make my position clear. This also means that use
cases are going to need to be clarified and a clear story
crafted around the pro's and con's of each compiler to help us
make a decision about which option is best for our needs. I was
able to reach my conclusions, but only after months of
immersion into the community. Needless to say, most people,
open-source or commercial won't spend that kind of time...
In short, more promotion of the options on dlang.org.
How different is this from C, C++, Pascal, Modula, Ada, Java
compilers?
As long as all implement the language standard, it is all for the
better.
