Hmmm, probably I'm missing something. I tried some time ago to 
develop something for raspberry pi & co but it wasn't fully 
supported, if I'm right. Is phobos ported too?

It would really useful: have you ever seen code for 3d printers? 
It would be benefit a lot from D :)

I build a 3d printer, and its firmware is written in C for 
arduino from many hands. I thinks it would a good idea to switch 
to something like rpi, and rewrite firmware in D, it's not that 
complex. I had to check many times that C code, and I think it's 
really messy.
