Can someone explain the reasons why LDC can't compiles to webasm with the DRuntime? Nobody has done the work to port it, though someone has expressed interest and opened an issue for it: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/2144 Regarding porting druntime, I'm told by some here that there are some issues with the GC and thread-local storage because of the particular wasm instruction set, but I've never looked into it.

Now we have two different packages that are supposed to do the same but have different arbitrary limitations. The goal of this package is linux support, and the code is autogenerated from Linux sources. It may include other linux kernel headers in the future. I don't see any problem here. The syscall-d can import mir-linux-kernel if they want to have the best linux support and provide something for other OS. Best, Ilya
