Hi Walter,

Apologies for the late reply.

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:

The old web page is still there but will vanish soon.
