Please do! :-) Don't let the small size of the LDC patch from dscripten deceive you ; it mangles LDC in the easiest possible way to adapt it to the quirks of emscripten-fastcomp (the LLVM fork). (the official LLVM branch doesn't even declare the asmjs/Emscripten triples). At this point, I think emscripten-fastcomp might be on the go ; especially if the WebAssembly backend from the official LLVM branch becomes widely used (at this point, I'll probably ditch emscripten-fastcomp from dscripten, to use WebAssembly instead). Some stuff that could be easily upstreamed in a clean non-emscripten specific way: - allowing to disable the build of phobos and druntime from the cmake build. - allowing to disable the build of the debug information generator. - allowing to disable the build of the tests.

Please do! :-) Looks like it is relatively easy to integrate most of your changes. For `llvm::Triple::asmjs` and `llvm::Triple::Emscripten`, what predefined versions would you propose ? Have a look here: https://dlang.org/spec/version.html#predefined-versions Cheers, Johan

LLVM has a working WebAssembly backend ; LDC might need some slight modifications to become aware of this new target. Everything that don't rely on the D runtime should work (except for bugs, e.g https://github.com/kripken/emscripten-fastcomp/issues/187 ). Then, I think the following blog post could be easily adapted for the D langage: https://medium.com/@mbebenita/lets-write-pong-in-webassembly-ac3a8e7c4591 However, please keep in mind that the target instruction set is only the tip of the iceberg ; you have to provide a target environment (like SDL bindings or a simplified D runtime), so the generated code can do anything usefull (like I/O).

Author here ; the blogpost is indeed interesting but it's outdated. It's a lot more simpler now that the "LDC + emscripten-fastcomp" combination works (no need for intermediate C lowering anymore) The whole simplified toolchain and example project live here: https://github.com/Ace17/dscripten If you have questions about how this work, I'd be glad to answer them!
