LDC - the LLVM-based D compiler
160+
-------------------------------
161+
162+
`D <http://dlang.org>`_ is a language with C-like syntax and static typing. It
163+
pragmatically combines efficiency, control, and modeling power, with safety and
164+
programmer productivity. D supports powerful concepts like Compile-Time Function
165+
Execution (CTFE) and Template Meta-Programming, provides an innovative approach
166+
to concurrency and offers many classical paradigms.
167+
168+
`LDC <http://wiki.dlang.org/LDC>`_ uses the frontend from the reference compiler
169+
combined with LLVM as backend to produce efficient native code. LDC targets
170+
x86/x86_64 systems like Linux, OS X, FreeBSD and Windows and also Linux on ARM
171+
and PowerPC (32/64 bit). Ports to other architectures like AArch64 and MIPS64
172+
are underway.
