This is my proposal for porting D runtime to WebAssembly. I
would like to ask you to review it. You can find it here:

Yes, if I read this right the plan is to keep the runtime
small. That is good, small footprint is important.
Small footprint is super important, especially when targeting the
browser.
The first stage is getting something to work though, but I will
definitely chisel bytes off afterwards.
Also, if applicable, structure the object file in way that
compress well (gzip). E.g. the layout of compiler emitted data
structures and constants on the heap.
I don't know how much control we have (or want) over this. In the
end LLVM and wasm-lld do that and we just piggyback that.
