Let's wait until a decision is made, then it will be all nice and 
official should it go in :)

I thought, Sunday evening, no chance of that Phoronix guy posting 
a news item until Monday morning.  How wrong I was.

I've drafted up a wiki page to keep track of current tasks.

Now that I think about it, maybe trello would be better.

800k lines of code! Wow. Is this also how big the DMD frontend is?

No, Dscanner says the current ddmd frontend is about 84 klocs of 
D code, and I found last year that about 63 klocs of that was 
used by ldc, so that's what's really needed:

I don't think this patch would be using the ddmd frontend though, 
as gdc was still using the older C++ frontend last I heard, but 
without having looked at the patch at all, the big difference is 
probably that they're counting druntime and phobos also, and 
misrepresenting that as part of the frontend.

 phobos also, and misrepresenting that as part of the frontend.


About 90% of that is the combination of dmd frontend, testsuite, 
druntime, phobos - i.e files that are copied verbatim from dlang 
on github.  Then half of the remainder is roughly auto generated 
content.
