My point is really that D needs to support ARM pdq to have any chance of
getting traction in an increasingly bi-partisan (Intel/AMD and ARM)
rather than monopolistic (Intel/AMD) data centre.
That is a good point and I definitely agree.
But I don't think this has much to do with inline assembler support - and
supporting an assembler for ARM is simply not that hard. There's nothing tricky
about an assembler or its syntax. There may be issues with supporting an inline
assembler and the GDC or LDC back end interfaces, that I don't know about.
