digitalmars.D.learn - 64-bit on D - Possible?

I want to learn D, and I'm aware that it can run on 64-bit OSes. That said,
most 64-bit OSes have 32-bit compatibility layers.

Is it possible to compile a D program as a native 64-bit app? If not, is there
a timetable for that?

While you are there please answer this if anyone knows I have a 64 bit , Dual Core , single channel machine running Linux. Now I'm unsure as to exactly what that means by way of is it running dmd in 32 bit mode ? or 64 . Whichever, it is running dmd 1.024 satisfactorily now .

DMD only exists in 32-bit. There is no 64-bit binary of DMD. So when you're using DMD on a 64-bit machine, it's running in 32-bit mode.
