Sorry Andrei; I missed this reply by you until now.

My interest in LLVM is largely outside of D  but I think it is a really important
technology for the future of D.  (I have another non-D LLVM project that
I'm working on in slow time.) Currently I don't actually use ldc because of
its Tango affinity.  Nevertheless it would be good if you can get someone from
the ldc community to produce a salient one-pager on why LLVM for D to
make reference to in your book.
