Okay, pardon me, may be I have not highlighted my point clear
enough: there is no real market for D in that limited subset
because it has to compete with Java, C# or any modern language
based on their virtual machines. And, similar to desktop usage,
lot of selling points for D are lost then, because, well, why
bother?
Contrary to this, any language who can make it into real embedded
domain will be almost uncontested, because this industry is still
stuck with 40-year obsolete tools. But that is not something that
may happen on its own.
