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.
Right, I forgot about that. I haven't done a single thing on this since the last time I announced it.
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.
I think that would be quite difficult. Although it would probably be easier to get 64bit and modern runtime support. An advantage of doing it in DMD (except that it's already in DMD) is that it's probably a bigger chance of it being officially added to D and not just an extension to LDD. If it's added to DMD it will automatically be merged by both LDC and GDC.
Another idea would be to add it to DMD with the current platform support. Then when it's merged with LDC, let them add support for ARM, 64bit and modern runtime.
BTW, do you automatically scan the newsgroups for "http://michelf.ca/projects/d-objc/"; :)
