dmd platform support - poll

[suresh]

Hi Walter,

I am embedded systems programmer. I crave to use D when I have to use C/C++.

I would like to see dmd support cross-compilation for ARM(9) family.

In my ideal world (dream :) ) 'gdc' would have been the main line for development
and getting it to run on all the above mentioned platforms would be easy.
AFAIK back-end support for gcc already supports - native x86 32 bit , .Net IL,
bytecode etc.

What I remember from computer language benchmarks performance of gdc was very
close to dmd.

This is one very critical move which can make D mainstream language very soon.

Anyway, you understand these details much better than me.
