Go is the least interesting thing on that page, it took me two reads to
spot it.  ;)

Libgccjit is far more interesting.

Libgccjit might totally change the way gdc is built towards
the modular approach LLVM uses. There are issues with the
package I maintain for Gentoo:
* Have to recompile all of gcc on an update to D
* Updates of gcc and D in lock-step
* Parallel installation of different D versions limited by
  number of minor versions of gcc (e.g. 4.8, 4.9)

Still a nice alternative to LLVM JIT!

It's still alpha and though the api should not be broken from now onwards,
it's still feature incomplete.  You could still probably implement a small
C or Python JIT/AOT compiler with it though.
