Would be great to know if he open-sourced some of his stuff.
My experiments in trying to "minimize" D for the ARM Cortex-M is

The memory-mapped I/O pattern that was the key part of my
presentation at DConf is here:
https://github.com/JinShil/memory_mapped_io
It was modeled after this paper:
http://yogiken.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/c-register-access.pdf
The few STM32 peripherals that I created with the memory-mapped
I/O pattern for testing the proof of concept is here:

The code generator that I used to automate conversion of the
datasheet from PDF to D code is here:

The minimal "Hello World" for ARM Cortex-M is here:

Instructions for building a GDC ARM Cortex-M cross compiler is
here:

Dicebot includes the ARM Cortex-M backend for LDC is the Arch
Linux package:

Thanks Dicebot, I used it many times.
Those interested in using D for ARM Cortex-M microcontroller
program should probably look at minlibd
(https://bitbucket.org/timosi/minlibd)
Over the past year, my hopes for D gradually diminished. I don't
see a way to use D for microcontroller programming without making
many concessions and compromises, wrapping C, or forking the D
compiler/runtime and making your own dialect of the language.
So, I'm sorry to say I'm bowing out of the D scene, at least for
now.
