I am looking to use D for microcontroller programming due to
its benefits over C in workflow and general language features.
I was wondering what the current state of this is, especially
with regards to AVR. An example of the MCUs I would like to
develop with include anything from 8 bit ATmega328p to 32 bit
ESP32.
The ESP32 can be programmed in C, C++, micropython and Lua, so
I'm hoping there's at least some compatibility there.
AVR: https://wiki.dlang.org/D_on_AVR
With recent official LDC packages, you don't need to build LLVM
and LDC yourself, AVR is supported out-of-the-box.
ESP32:

This arch hasn't been upstreamed to LLVM yet and so needs their
LLVM fork, i.e., building it and LDC yourself.
