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. [http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/debian/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=all] This is one very critical move which can make D mainstream language very soon. Anyway, you understand these details much better than me.
