Thanks for your reply, Kai. That's good news, however iOS and Android
support is crucial. I hope D can soon be ported to ARM, it's just too
important.
If you want to do anything useful on iOS you need to use Objective-C
libraries, for that you bascilly need this:

Latest update, but still quite outdated:

Still no modern runtime support I'd guess? With support only for the
legacy runtime you're stuck compiling for 32-bit OS X only; 32-bit iOS
uses the modern runtime.
And since the DMD backend won't emit ARM code, if I were still working
on this the first thing I'd do is rebase everything to work on top of
LDC.
Once upon a time, I did port a D game to iOS. I translated it to C++.
But the amount of Objective-C code was pretty minimal at the end. If I
had an ARM-capable D compiler at that time, even with no Objective-C
support, I could have lived happily with D.
