 I'd love to have ANY or ALL (GRIN) of these versions of D (D-lang) as
 support MacPorts ports, but it seems that the ldc2 version will be the
 easiest to port...

 There are three "flavors" of D (d-lang).

 https://dlang.org
 https://dlang.org/download.html
 https://github.com/ldc-
 developers/ldc/releases/download/v1.40.1/ldc2-1.40.1-osx-arm64.tar.xz
 (binary)
 https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/archive/refs/tags/v1.40.1.tar.gz
 (source)

 The "reference" version "dmd" only builds on Intel/AMD; probably why the
 dmd port is so out-of-date and attempts to revive the port have been
 abandoned.
 The gcd version seems not to build on arm64; don't know how difficult it
 is to make it work for arm64 (MacOS)
 lcd2 is based on LLVM; and seems to be great on arm64 (MacOS)
