digitalmars.D - A quick question for Walter and Andrei - LDC
Is there a particular reason why don't you, heavyweights, concentrate your efforts on LDC instead of Walters DMD? IMO - LDC should benefit from your expertise a whole lot and it would unify a community effort to bring D to the spotlight it needs. That is all. PS For LDC guys - one striking/usability point I've got as an input from other people when I've tried to direct them to try out D: Where are precompiled installation packages for Windows/OSX? You know people are downright lazy, you should account for that.

Hello dominik,Is there a particular reason why don't you, heavyweights, concentrate your efforts on LDC instead of Walters DMD? IMO - LDC should benefit from your expertise a whole lot and it would unify a community effort to bring D to the spotlight it needs.If I'm reading the question right: for various legal reasons Walter can't/won't work on compiles He doesn't own.
