Judging by link it looks like yet another continuous integration 
suite, is there anything more about it you are interested in? CI 
is usually not language-specific.

If you are looking for one _written_ in D, though, only I am 
aware of is that runs CI for dmd/phobos 
(http://d.puremagic.com/test-results/) -

drone.io is the first I've used (for Dart) and I think it is very 
useful. I am also working on D and did not find it as a supported 
language. I'm not particularly interested in one written in D as 
much as for D. I would think lobbying/helping the drone.io team 
or one of the others include D as a supported language would be 
doable. Or if there is another system that D users are using? 
Further, IMHO having many of the dub packages set up to run tests 
and display a *passing* badge would give a positive signal.

That is weird. I have used some common CI platforms like Jenkins 
for D projects with no issues. Those are simply irrelevant to 
actual language used.

There must be something I am missing. Can you give quick summary 
what drone.io is actually about? It is not clear from their web 
site and I don't like to watch promo videos.

To be clear it is not important to me that it be drone.io - again 
that is my first exposure to CI. But for Dart I have a github 
repository containing a package with a bunch of tests that 
succeed. I go to drone and create a project. In the process it 
offers to select any of my github repositories and then you 
select the language. A small script drives the *test* which is 
usually just something that runs calls out to your test scripts. 
The language you select allows the build to know what to do after 
cloning your repository before calling your test. So for the case 
of dart, it shows the version of dart being used (which they keep 
as the latest version), then it does a *pub install* which 
installs all your Dart package requirements, then it runs your 
tests. If they pass your badge, which is a link to the status of 
the latest build is green.

Here is a sample badge for a json schema validator: 
https://drone.io/github.com/patefacio/json_schema/latest

The nice thing is, any time you commit to github a build is 
automatically kicked off and you get notification of 
success/failure.

I think the setup would work well with the right prereqs on the 
box and with dub replacing pub for installing dependencies. Maybe 
others are using something else - like Jenkins? It looks like 
julia has a fair amount of this done with Travis. So what 
does/should D users reach for?

Ah I see. Most often such software is run on own server and 
environment is fully controlled. For example, I am hosting 
Jenkins-based suite for Volt developers: 
https://jenkins.dicebot.lv

Regarding CI as a public service, it still should be possible to 
use it with D if it supports job dependencies and has basic C/C++ 
tools available. You can always define build dmd/phobos job and 
make your project depend on it, with tiny bit of include path 
tweaking. That may be much more cumbersome than you want though.

There are also some plans for doing automated CI for all projects 
located in dub registry. I have recently discussed this with 
Sonke (dub author) and going to try that at least with Linux 
build slave. Prototype may be available by the end of the autumn 
(rough terms). This is still not exactly dart.io though

Easiest way here may be to simply convience 
https://travis-ci.org/ guys to add native D support - but I don't 
know how to approach them :)

P.S. all the github integration you are speaking about is pretty 
common among all CI software I am aware of, so it should be 
mostly hosting/environment issue for you.
