I'm thinking on picking up some Android tablet for development
purposes, would be good to port my game engine for mobile
devices, probably have to resort for OpenGL for graphics
acceleration instead of using CPU blitter, although that might
work under NEON (currently I'm using SSE2).
Great! Let me know if you have any problem using ldc to compile
for Android. One caveat, ldc only supports 32-bit ARM chips
right now. I've been looking into making it work with 64-bit
ARM, but I'm not sure exactly what that platform's doing for TLS
and llvm will require some modification to make it work with D on
AArch64. David has been working on linux/AArch64, you're welcome
to chip into that effort if you like:

It's filled with Assembly code, and otherwise not very
readable. Would need a lot of work, I don't think it would
worth it. Let's hope that MS will allow us to distribute a
linker alongside DMD.
If you want to help with that, I suggest you see what Go is doing
and submit a PR for us to do the same:
