Really? ARM servers? This is the first I've heard of it. (Intel must be crapping themselves.) >I also fancy coding with D on a Raspberry Pi. :-) > Me too! Imagine how much more power you could get out of it using D instead of the packed-in Python. But I think the big bottleneck there is actually *getting* a Raspberry Pi ;) Seriously, I heard that some lucky few had actually gotten theirs a while ago, so I went looking to get in line for one (expecting there would still be quite a delay between ordering and shipping). But there's so much interest, nobody's even accepting preorders anymore. All you can do is get on a list to be notified of updates to availability. Apperently, even the preorders that *have* gone through are backlogged to at least the middle of summer. Just as well, I guess: Even if I had one today, it'd probably be quite awhile before I'd even have the time to play with it anyway. And if I do get time, there's a VM image of it you can download and play with (which I got and still haven't looked at ;) ).
