I agree. We just don't have the champion for that yet. -- Andrei
I might obviously be biased, but to be honest I don't see much
value in starting to port a largely obsolete backend to a whole
new processor architecture.
Sure, it might be a fun exercise for somebody interested in
learning about code generation. But in terms of pushing D
forward, I think the much better option is to encourage people to
contribute to GDC or LDC instead, where backends for virtually
all important embedded platforms already exist.
