Also, there may not be any need for changes to the backend. The Intel
Galileo [1] is a Pentium-based Quark MCU [2], and the Intel Edison [3] is
a dual-core Atom CPU. Walter already said he thinks DMD might be able to
program the Quark. These aren't really "micro"controllers as they have an
abundance of resources compared to the ARM Cortex-M and Atmel AVRs, but it
has it's place in the ecosystem.
Also, there is no reason one can't use their desktop PC to experiment. I
see modularization of the language benefiting all domains, and I think if
it existed, we'd see those features exploited in many interesting ways.
Yes, as long as we're targeting x86 the dmd backend has a chance. Targeting
another architecture would not be worth the effort.
