As I said, if you're not relying on the latest-and-greatest bleeding edge, GDC is a perfectly fine compiler. Iain has already said the next release will be self-hosting, so we can finally move on from the ancient C++-based compiler to the latest self-hosted one. Once that's done, GDC should keep up with language developments at a much better pace than before. T -- People say I'm indecisive, but I'm not sure about that. -- YHL, CONLANG
