LLVMDC is a project to make a D compiler for LLVM. Supposedly, it is nearly ready for prime time. I have not experimented with it yet.

My D-based bot gets 10kpps right now using gdc (D compiler for gcc). That's fast enough to be within ~50 ELO of the best light playout bots I've seen on CGOS. I'm sure I could make it faster, but I'm more interested in heavy playouts right now.

Don,

Have you tried LLVM with D? I don't know how hard it would be to graft the two together, but I have seen posts from folks doing so with Erlang and other languages.

http://www.cocoageek.com/2008/08/llvm-gcc-benchmarks/ is an interesting benchmark of LLVM vs GCC - for some applications, it gives 20-30% improvement.

( You may recall LLVM from the recent hype regarding Apple's next- gen Snow Leopard )
