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.
Fantastic!
Could you please send a PR to upgrade http://dlang.org/download.html so
it lists the iOS and (later) Android downloads? Even I didn't know ldc
has an iOS download! -- Andrei
