Dynamic Code in D

[Robert Fraser]

Wow; that's a cool project and as much of it as you're willing to 
open-source would be awesome, even if it mainly serves as an educational 
tool. Dynamic code support has been something D has been lacking for a 
while. I don't know the answer to most of your questions, but...

AFAIK, the code generator on GDC is more mature/stable than DMD. It uses 
the GCC backend, so if you consider GCC's AMD64 codegen stable, then 
GDC's will follow.

Anyway, good luck figuring all this out!
