Implement binary/D backend #4

Closed mihails-strasuns closed 9 years ago

mihails-strasuns commented 9 years ago

One of primary goals for going for D build system is to remove all build dependencies but D compiler / standard library. It should be possible to do full build without relying on ninja / make - initially it is ok to even be considerably slower than those.

That was always a goal. It was just easier and useful in and of itself to bootstrap with ninja and make. I also plan a tup backend. I guess a binary backend that isn't very fast is easy enough to write, but what I really want is to be able to produce the fastest build system in the world. Kind of what ctRegex did for regular expressions.

Just don't make perfect the enemy of good :) For me personally any self-contained build provider taht works would be enough to start using reggae for pet projects - with an assumption it will become faster eventually.

Implemented. Seems to work, but I wouldn't bet real money on that!
