I must take this opportunity and proclaim that a MacPorts package would
be even more fantastic, to the point of giggleingly exciting even!
The only downside to MacPorts is that it is not installed by default.
Having to install MacPorts before installing dmd adds an extra barrier
to those who don't already have MacPorts installed. A MacPorts package
would be great indeed, but I think there should be a way to *just*
install DMD if that's what you want.
That said, I think the biggest barriers for D on OS X are the lack of
Xcode support and the difficulty in accessing half of the system's APIs
which are in Objective-C. I have made semi-complete solutions
addressing both of these problems, but I don't have much
time/inclination to work on them at this time as my current projects do
not involve D much.
