digitalmars.D.ldc - Status update: RISC-V port

Hi,

I've just joined lowRISC, where I'm working on LLVM support for 
RISC-V and some other related things. That means that, after 
settling in, I will resume my efforts to port LDC/druntime/Phobos 
to RISC-V. Some of the RISC-V LLVM features required for D will 
also start landing soon (e.g. atomics support), which will 
minimize the amount of workarounds I have to use.

I'll also be in a better position to contribute to LDC more 
broadly, as I'll have a better understanding of LLVM.

Cheers,
Luís

Nice, it would be worthwhile to make ssh access available to LDC/GDC devs on a RISC-V board somewhere, so we can pitch in with the port. I'd have rented a RISC-V VPS instead, but there's none available. ;)
