 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).

 (binary) \\

 (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 dmd port is so out-of-date and attempts to revive the port have been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)

 Ports for dlang exist (dmd et al).
