My interest in D is primarily to be able to use it for ARM
Cortex-M microcontrollers. Unfortunately, Rust is kicking D's
butt in that domain (https://japaric.github.io/discovery/). But
I just don't enjoy programming in Rust like I do in D. So, I'm
trying to see what I can do to reduce the coupling between the
compiler and the runtime so I can use D in a more pay-as-you-go
fashion. One of my first PRs in that regard was pulled recently
(https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7395) and I have a few more
ideas along those lines. But, I still have a lot to learn.
