--- Comment #2 from Lionello Lunesu <lio+bugzilla at lunesu.com> ---
DMD has a architecture agnostic frontend (this parses the D code), but an Intel
specific backend (this generates the binary executable.) It's unlikely that DMD
will ever get an ARM (or other) code generator in the backend.

But, lucky for us, there are two other D compilers that use the same DMD
frontend (so the same D language) but have more flexible backends: LDC and GDC!
These work great on ARM, including Apple MacBook M1! Give them a try!
