The issue with D...

Not to be a downer but just trying out D again with Vibe.d and 
getting confronted with the typical bug: Unexpected OPTLINK 
Termination at EIP=0040F60A

Tracing this back, bring up issues in the bugtracker from 2017 ( 
17508 ), that is still open.

First impressions and such matter. And for some reason ever new 
"first impression" with D seems to result in annoying bugs being 
discovered ( Windows 10 ).

Yes, i already know. No Visual Studio linker installed ( and no, 
i do not want a 3GB installation just for the linker, when DMD 
already includes it ). But somebody forgot to tell dub!

So anybody using Vibe.d or any other project that rely on dub 
figuring out that DMD can be run without Visual Studios linker, 
can enjoy very nice and cryptic errors. User friendly it is not.

/Frustrated that this is still a issue.
