Popped into my head today.
What proportion of the D community develops on Linux of some
sort, and what proportion works with a 64 bit OS?
I primarily use Ubuntu (Linux) 12.04 64bit. I'll update to 14.04
when that comes out as i only install the LTS (long term support)
versions.
And why?
Because it the easiest platform to install and get my hands on
development tools. sudo apt-get install for the win!
I use MacOS 10.8.5 64bit at work and have done lots of D
development there too. The big downside is lack of a package
manager for getting my hands on GCC/GDB/libs etc.. Homebrew[1]
helps but is no match for apt.
