I was wondering about this. DMD I think only supports Intel, right? Are 
there any plans to support ARM, or will ldc/gdc be the only compilers 
that support Mac in the future?

I've used a mac since 2011, and I'm probably going to buy an Intel 
macbook this year before they are discontinued (my current one is from 
2014), just to give myself more time to deal with it.

I'm curious to see how this will affect the Mac ecosystem.
