+1 to this. I've been looking forward to getting an Android (either phone or tablet) and writing apps for it. If I can write apps in D, that would simply be awesome. (And you never know, maybe it will be an Android killer app that will make D really take off... ;-)) As far as I know, gdc can already produce ARM code since it uses the gcc backend. All we need now is a nice native D interface to the Android libraries, and I'll be a very very happy man. T -- The early bird gets the worm. Moral: ewww...
