I stated my expectations earlier I think there will be a 2-6x
performance increase in the non-jited version and around 10-14x
for the jit.
My preliminary results do support that claim.
As for new features I do not plan on doing language-changes as I
do not have the ability to anticipate the outcome of doing so.
My work will probably have side-effects on the rest of dmd, for
example the AST is hard to work with in some cases. I would to
add like some support for frontend-optimisations as well.
I will also improve documentation in some areas and hope to lower
the entry-barrier for dmd-development.
