Lastly the game dev industry is very hesitant to change languages for

Apparently D already works on the Xbox One using Windows with -m64 (and
thus COFF) and Visual Studio's toolchain, at least in conjunction with
some C++ (I'm not sure about standalone, though I don't see why not).
Interesting, thought we'd need some sort of changes to at least the
compiler for it. Might be worth making this more well known.
I can make the point for other consoles. E.g. PS4, Nvidia Shield.
It won't work like c++ does atleast. Who is a first class citizen.
