So, I've gotten interested in kernel programming in D.. And as much as
I like C/C++, I wanna try innovating, I'm aware that phobos/gc and any

implement them into the kernel itself.
So, I guess what I'm asking is this: What should I look out for, what
should I avoid, and what should I use to my advantage?
I'm not expecting this kernel to be Linux right off the bat, but I
would like to see how far D can go with this.
Any ideas? :P
I wrote a little kernel a while back that all started when I read this
wiki page:
http://wiki.osdev.org/D_Bare_Bones
You may be beyond this already as it is pretty basic stuff...still it's
good if you're just learning like I am. There are some articles that
helped me fix the 64-bit bootloader issues I was having as well.

Just a warning, there are a few bugs on that wiki page. Nothing major,
just don't expect every example to work out of the box. (unless it has
been updated in the last year of course).
I thought about editing it, but I lost interest in my project before I
got around to it. =C
I've long since forgotten what issues I encountered though...
