Ah, the obligatory comment from Walter Bright talking about D in posts about Zig

(Nothing wrong with it, just a bit funny how predictable it has become)

I guess the interesting difference in approach here, is that D seems to have completely separate compilers, while it looks like the main Zig compiler will support LLVM as a backend if you have it installed? If true, I like the approach Zig is going for.

yesterday on a thread on DMD somebody quipped "Funny how WalterBright seems to comment in every single HN thread other than this one..." and I thought it was hyperbole. Next HN thread I open, I'm proven wrong
