  1. …backward compatibility and a lot of projects just die because of it, for example the mentioned https://github.com/facebookarchive/warp : ==== make dmd -c -O -inline -release -ofwarp.o cmdline.d constexpr.d context.d directive.d expanded.d…

  2. …: - Writing a C preprocessor is a nightmare. Fortunately, I already did that https://github.com/facebookarchive/warp and we can use it if we choose. - The D code will be able to inline C code, and even CTFE it. - There are a lot of wac

  3. Here's the source code: https://github.com/facebookarchive/warp and the one for the C compiler I wrote long ago: https://github.com/DigitalMars/Compiler/blob/master/dm/src/d... which is integrated with the C lexer for speed reasons.

  6. …to the last drop C preprocessor, prepare to spend 6 months on that, minimum. Or just use Warp: https://github.com/facebookarchive/warp and then you can have fun just working on the compiler bit.

  7. …carefully manage memory for the release or the hot spots. (The Warp preprocessor I wrote did that. https://github.com/facebookarchive/warp ) There's a lot less time hammering square pegs into round holes. I've seen more than enough…

  15. …of Facebook? You need a lot of good hacks to deal with large bulks of data. For example: https://github.com/facebook/warp I heard Goooogle developed Go partially because they were fed up with the time taken up compiling massive C programs.
