For macOS - use LDC (the only nice option for M1 for example)
For Windows - again LDC (there was a project for GDC on Windows, 
but it is not in “just works” phase)
For Linux - you can try both GDC and LDC. It depends on the type 
of the code/tools - which will be more convenient, both of them 
have similar performance.

My usual practice is to use DMD for development because of the
lightning speed compile times, and LDC for release builds.
