Apart from that, I think the fact that D is still not fit for
mobile platforms is a huge drawback. Loads of people want apps,
loads of people have some sort of smart phone, tablet or
whatever. Sometimes I think that we're getting sucked in by the
quick sand of language specs, pointers, GC etc. while important
issues like targeting mobile platforms are second class
citizens. Nim for example targeted mobile platforms right from
the start. So did Go. I cannot recommend D wholeheartedly
unless it also works on ARM at the click of a button. Please
correct me if I'm wrong here, but mobile is not yet 100%.
Ldc binaries for iOS were announced in July, Dan's now working on
64-bit support:

Android is pretty much done, just cleaning it up by integrating
with ldc's CMake build system and other small details,
announcement coming next week.
