No, LDC is required. I plan to update DUB for quick testing 
without binary compilation for DUB. The reason why DMD support 
was dropped is that it generates 10-20 times slower code for 
matrix multiplication.

My opinion is that D community is too small to maintain 3 
compilers and we should move forward with LDC.
