If we were to build nightlies for a number of compilers/interpreters
it would be a really good 'marketing' move. Guix makes this feasible
and is a contrast with the typical scripting hell.
This would be particularly interesting for a number of upcoming
languages: Rust, Julia, Elixir, D...
Developers are a great target audience because they can write packages
in turn.
Maybe we should dedicate a machine for this. Or get one of the CI
websites to sponsor it using cloud services. I am happy to provide a
build VM to build nightly D compilers gdc and ldc. That way we could
start farming out 'specials'. Something to discuss in Brussels?
