Fedora is adding LLVM-based compiler for D (fedoraproject.org)

Excellent! Though, I have to add that if you like C++ with STL, D2 with the latest Phobos standard library is the way to go. Hopefully, we will see a stable LDC for D2 in the future.

Wow, cool! I really like D as a C++ replacement. Is the language stable enough, though? Last time I checked D 2.0 was still evolving.

Is there any prepackaged LDC binary for OS X?

It's annoying having to download DMD (Digital Mars compiler) just to compile LDC.

Sadly it looks like the list of features in the next Fedora ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/14/FeatureList ) is not as impressive as the list was for Fedora 12 and 13. Given that yesterday was the submission deadline, I don't think this will be as exciting a release.
