A few years ago I created a bare metal demo on an ARM

demonstration that one could do bare metal programming for
microcontrollers in D without any dependencies on C or
assembly. It was also a proof of some ideas I had about
leveraging compile-time features of D to generate
highly-optimized code (both small and fast) for these resource
constrained systems. I hit a wall, however, with Issue
14758[0], and ultimately abandoned D for other alternatives.
It has a lot of potential. I always hope that someone will
start a 3d Printer firmware written in D for a 32bit
microcontroller.
Can't wait to see that day
