Kudos to the GDC team.
which OS/Distro, if you want I can try to make some binary for you
That is a very generous offer, thank you. I will try to spin up a VM in
which I can install a newer GDC.
As a broader point, though, do you think it would help improve adoption
of GDC (and perhaps the D ecosystem overall) if one could `tar xfvz
gdc-9.tar.gz && export PATH gdc/bin` in the same way we do with DMD and
LDC? I understand this has not been the traditional model with GCC, but
then again the LDC team do not iterate only when LLVM updates major
version either.
Kind regards
