I very much so agree. This is fantastic news!
Are there any beta (alpha|beta|rc)-builds available for
download?
No, but then again the poor little server is so constrained on
resources at the moment, I'll be wanting to move to a new
provider (replacing the single server with four) before such a
thing happens.
I've had to add more swap because CI builds for mips, ppc and
sparc started failing due to hitting the oomkiller.
Donating for the upkeep of our infrastructure is also welcome.
;-)
This might be worthwhile. It is highly likely that when GDC is in
GCC it will become the default D compiler in Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (while real support in RHEL even maybe), other Linux
distros like SUSE and even that we'll use it as the default D
compiler in Debian, due to GCC being the default system compiler
with strong optimizations and very good support for multiple
architectures (not sure yet though, since LDC works well as well
when it's not hit by the (suprisingly frequent) LLVM bugs).
So, in any case, GDC in GCC is *huge* and there is a high chance
that people will come in contact with D through it first.
When it's in, I can try to get GDC a few more machines for CI (I
can't promise anything at the moment, unfortunately).
