My only experience with D is getting the free onedrive client to run on linux[1]. What's more frustrating than the small ecosystem is the fact that the reference compiler, DMD, is limited to x86/x86_64 and you need a working D compiler to compile the primary alternative, LDC2 which can't bootstrap itself.
In order to get something like that to compile for aarch64, you have to build a recent GCC with the very old dmd frontend enabled, and then you can compile LDC2. This all to use one app!

- ben-schaaf 7y agoWhy would you have to bootstrap the compiler to simply install an app?
- joecool1029 7y agoBecause nobody had a binary of the app for my architecture?
