I think that the garbage collection part of the atricle is
very relevant to the usage of D on mobile.
Nobody uses D on mobile, so it's not very relevant. ;)
If Intel ever makes a comeback on mobile- Samsung is putting
x86 chips in their next generation of Galaxy Tab tablets, so
it's possible- it might not take much effort to port D/ldc to
Android/x86 though, so maybe it will be relevant someday.
Good article, with some good data.
There are embedded devices that can be targeted with GC enabled
systems programming languages.
For example Oberon-7 for ARM Cortex-M3 and NXP LPC2000
microcontrollers:

What happens is that you can also control memory outside the GC
if really needed, via the usual stack/global memory allocation
and the SYSTEM package.
