We should rename Optlink to Vuvulink, it's the vuvuzela of D's world. We can't seriously use D with any commercial technologies since the code isn't binary compatible. This is getting ridiculous. 12 years of fail. We could even pay to get a proper linker. But how much would it cost? Around $200000 - $500000. That's too much. We could outsource our whole software development at that price and focus on profits.
