Good points. What about this:

LDC - the LLVM-based D compiler
-------------------------------

`D <http://dlang.org>`_ 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 paradigmas.

`LDC <http://wiki.dlang.org/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 
Linux/PPC64. Ports to
other architectures like ARM are underway.

Some advertising is needed - for D and LDC. :-)
