digitalmars.D.learn - D developing on ARM board

I had read that LDC have limited support of ARM. wiki said that 
it can compile hello-world apps. But it it not enough.

What about DMD. Is there any progress of ARM support?

Also:
1. Would Vibed work on ARM?
2. Would Sublime work on ARM?

Which ARM board do you plan on getting? I own a Pandaboard ES. I tried using it for browsing for some time, but the software was pretty buggy when I tried it more than two years back. Maybe the ARM situation has gotten better since then.

dmd is x86 only, ldc and gdc have ARM backends. The ldc devs say there's still some stuff to fix to get all the tests passing on ARM, while the gdc devs say they have gdc passing most tests on ARM.

Some people have tried it, this guy ran into a problem last year: http://forum.dlang.org/post/kksozynoounkasddbscv forum.dlang.org Not sure if that's fixed yet or if vibe works, you'd have to look into it.

Sublime seems to be x86-only, maybe you can ask them for an ARM build.
