Come now that is obfuscation – you need to make good on this claim.

The LLVM backend has many, many more users than the DMD backend and the
LLVM backend is used with many more different languages than the DMD
backend. The LLVM backend is proven far more than the DMD backend
simply on the basis of statistical likelihood.

I'll back LLVM any day in this argument.

No it doesn't, it stands as stated.
