Probably you can run a D command line app on an android ARM device

Thanks.

So currently for me - running arch linux within a chroot under 
android on a oneplusone phone - gdc seems to work fine for hello 
world.  ldc now compiles and links (thanks, dicebot) but gives me 
a bus error when I try to run the code.  clang compiles the C 
equivalent fine and the code works.  vibed default/hw app 
compiles under gdc and starts, but cannot listen on the port and 
segfaults.

it's possible it is an artefact of running linux within the 
chroot (although everything else I have tried works so far 
including vnc, python, numpy, etc) so will try on raspberry pi 
when I get around to ordering one (which may be some weeks).

at a tangent: I think it is an easy win to write up a small 
tutorial on developing simple apps in D on android.  obviously 
the retail market is big, but there is opportunity for enterprise 
users - many people on the portfolio manager side in the 
investment world would love to be able to see key calculations on 
their phone.  it doesn't need to be super-pretty; just seeing the 
results in a browser would be a big improvement over nothing.
