dmd installed with `pacman -S dmd` works for me. But it's 2.074, 
so I installed 2.074.1 with the script.

It doesn't work on Arch Linux, see 
https://github.com/dlang-snaps/dmd.snap/issues/11
Reason is, snapd in Arch Linux doesn't support "classic" packages 
yet. As soon as it's fixed, everything should work fine, but I 
haven't found any topics on Arch Linux forums, Snap forums or 
snapd repository issues about this problem.

Nobody wants to maintain it, but AUR package cannot be created 
too. For now it isn't a big deal, but as soon as 2.075 is 
released, we should ping them again
