DMD »Digital Mars D compiler |
GDC »GCC D compiler |
LDC »LLVM D compiler |
Which compiler should I use?
If you're a beginner DMD is the recommended choice, as it is the implementation closest to the D Language Specification. Otherwise it depends on what you need, what platforms you intend to develop for, and your personal preferences. GDC and LDC both generate substantially faster binaries than DMD.

Package and/or binary availability, by platform and compiler
⚠ This list had outdated information about package version - thus version information has been removed. Please check the most recent available package yourself on the linked pages.
Some unofficial repositories and downloads are listed here, but of course many more do exist. With a little searching, you may be able to find something more up to date for your chosen OS.
Very old compilers are (mostly) omitted, as they are unlikely to be of interest to users.
