Yes, it is confusing. It took me sometime to realize their product name itself is framework.

There is a huge demand for Pi clones in the Industrial segment. Check RevolutionPi.com. $200 for a single Pi is cheap, the equivalent Intel Box costs close to $2000, yes 10x. It's even difficult to get decent number of Industrial Pis on time.

I never used D-lang in any production application.

But for an IOT prototype where the executable size and performance were very important we benchmarked D also along with Go and C#.NET Core.

I made the same prototype in Go, C#, Java(GraalVM Native Compile) and D-lang. The results were surprisingly positive for D-lang.

Best Peformance -> D-lang, next Go and then Java(GraalVM), C#.NET Core.

Executable Size -> D-lang:500kb, Go: 2.5 MB, C# : 11MB, Java(GraalVM):8MB.

Our major concern with D-lang was lack of dependable(tested) standard libraries.

I used D for a small prototype. I wrote that same program in GO, C# and Java(native compiled with GraalVM).

The CPU and RAM usage of D-lang out performed all other languages.

Compiled binary size:

D-Lang : 450KB Go : 2 MB C#(.NET) : 8 MB Java-GraalVM: 9 MB

D-Lang CPU & RAM Usage is also less than GO. Unfortunately D-Lang is not popular, not many libraries available.

This looks great.

Its a bit surprising, the faq is all about Redis and other tools but not about Dragonfly.

Its soo clean.

Logo, Icons, Font, Color selection, everything looks perfect.

That sponge between RPi and backup is going to take alot of heat. It may catch fire.

This is one of the most ingenious use of modren technology.

This is how technology should be helping us.

Goodluck.
