It would be great to have dmd on embedded platforms.
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.
The matter of finding a champion applies all the same :o). -- Andrei
