This section lists some of the projects that have already been updated to work with LLVM 3.8. -* A project +LDC - the LLVM-based D compiler +------------------------------- + +`D `_ is a language with C-like syntax and static typing. It +pragmatically combines efficiency, control, and modeling power, with safety and +programmer productivity. D supports powerful concepts like Compile-Time Function +Execution (CTFE) and Template Meta-Programming, provides an innovative approach +to concurrency and offers many classical paradigms. + +`LDC `_ uses the frontend from the reference compiler +combined with LLVM as backend to produce efficient native code. LDC targets +x86/x86_64 systems like Linux, OS X and Windows and also PowerPC (32/64 bit) +and ARM. Ports to other architectures like AArch64 and MIPS64 are underway. Additional Information
