I notice that in the new release for Alpine Linux it mentions
support for D.
I was curious what was meant by this and thought someone here
would know. Just high level, like druntime was ported or
packages added to the repo?
Tradionally you'd run D on something like Ubuntu, etc but
Alpine is lightweight which is a good thing when building
docker containers. Alpine uses a different C runtime musl??
among other things whilst D uses use libc. So I believe we now
have bindings musl too to get D to work on Alpine.
Thank you. So it sounds like there are D compiler packages, and
you can use alpine to execute programs written in D.
Yes, here a Dockerfile example, which installs ldc and dub.
```
FROM alpine:3.12 as base
RUN apk add --update alpine-sdk ldc dub openssl-dev zlib-dev
```
Kind regards
