I don't want to edit the ideas wiki page without getting another opinion, so what about:

- helping with getting dmd produce x64 code on Windows.

To quote Walter:

"To do 64 bits on Windows requires:

1. 64 bit OMF
2. 64 bit librarian
3. 64 bit generating dmd
4. 64 bit C compiler
5. 64 bit symbolic debug info
6. 64 bit debugger
7. 64 bit C runtime"

The first step would be to examine if MinGW's tools could be used.


- making D run on other architectures like ARM, PowerPC, ...?
GDC and LDC theoretically support these but I guess druntime and the like could cause difficulties.
Especially ARM could be useful for targeting the mobile phone sector.
