As Adam already said D on Pi is adventurous.

For MongoDB and web stuff, you should look into Vibe.d [0]. For parsing I would suggest Pegged [1].

Welcome to D and Happy Hacking! :)

Thanks both. Well after several hours of hacking I have spectacularly failed to build GDC on any arm based debian environment - tried both my RPi and Cubieboard. In both cases it fails with a pile of compilation errors.

I'm guessing that D just isn't mainstream enough at the moment to be properly supported on Debian and yet it's too big and complicated to build easily yourself and so it's probably a non-starter for me at the moment. There is a pre-built package on debian gdc-4.4 but it's too old to build vibe or dub from my experimentation.

I guess I'll go back to plain old C.

Thanks anyway - I'll check back in a few years.
