What platforms for dmd would you be most interested in using? .net jvm mac osx 32 bit intel mac osx 64 bit intel linux 64 bit windows 64 bit freebsd 32 bit netbsd 32 bit other?
I'm on a PowerPC Mac right now so none of this is going to be very useful to me.
That said, I'd be very happy if I could bundle a good D compiler with my D plugin for Xcode, even if it's Intel-only. Currently, the only option is GDC which isn't very appealing in its current state. GDC has one advantage though: it's super easy to build universal binaries (PowerPC + Intel architecture in one executable). Having an Intel-only compiler is a disadvantage when developing Mac apps. A consolation is that this will fade over time as PowerPC Macs will get replaced by new ones.
So in my order of preference: Mac OS X 32 bit PowerPC Mac OS X 32 bit Intel Mac OS X 64 bit Intel Mac OS X 64 bit PowerPC (Not that I expect to see DMD generate PowerPC code in a near future.) -- Michel Fortin michel.for...@michelf.com http://michelf.com/
