The good think on Mac OS X is that basically all system
libraries are universal
binaries (both 32 and 64bit) meaning it really doesn't matter
for the user if an
application is 32 or 64bit.
BTW, around 6.6% of my currently running processes are 32bit.
Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
True, but consider that dmd is a 64 bit app, and nobody either
complains about it or notices, and dmd by default produces a 64
bit app, and as far as I can tell, nobody has noticed that
either.
I noticed! But it hasn't been a problem. One of the things I've
actually been using D for is writing simple tools for work, to be
executed while in livedisc environments (diagnostics and the
like), so I have to keep both 32b and 64b versions of everything,
and the only missing component was 64b for Windows. So yeah, I'm
pretty stoked about this.
