What do you think of this one:

LDC - the LLVM-based D compiler
-------------------------------

`D <http://dlang.org>`_ is a language with C-like syntax and 
static typing. It
pragmatically combines efficiency, control, and modeling power, 
with safety and
programmer productivity. D supports powerful concepts like 
Compile-Time Function
Execution (CTFE) and Template Meta-Programming, provides an 
innovative approach
to concurrency and offers many classical paradigmas.

`LDC <https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc>`_ uses the DMD 
frontend combined
with LLVM as backend to produce efficient native code. LDC 
targets x86/x86_64
systems like Linux, OS X and Windows and also Linux/PPC64. Ports 
to other
architectures like ARM are underway.

It is more or less cut'n'paste from dlang.org and the wiki.
