Which ARM board do you plan on getting?  I own a Pandaboard ES.  
I tried using it for browsing for some time, but the software was 
pretty buggy when I tried it more than two years back.  Maybe the 
ARM situation has gotten better since then.

dmd is x86 only, ldc and gdc have ARM backends.  The ldc devs say 
there's still some stuff to fix to get all the tests passing on 
ARM, while the gdc devs say they have gdc passing most tests on 
ARM.

Some people have tried it, this guy ran into a problem last year:

Not sure if that's fixed yet or if vibe works, you'd have to look 
into it.

Sublime seems to be x86-only, maybe you can ask them for an ARM 
build.
