Walter Bright <address@hidden> skribis:The D programming language compiler has been called dmd since about 2000 or so. In order to avoid confusion, may I request that the Gnu dmd ("Daemons-managing Daemon") change its acronym?For the record, GNU’s dmd has been around since ~2003¹. Changing names is obviously an annoyance, technically and otherwise. We’re not opposed to the idea, but that would take a bit more discussion among developers.Thanks for considering this. I appreciate it.Just to let you know: we have finally released a renamed version of what used to be known as GNU dmd: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-01/msg00958.html The old web page is still there but will vanish soon.
