The last thing we need is balkanization of the community. You are of course free to initiate such a project but if you care about D it would be great to apply your talent in a different direction.
I think this might be going a little bit too far. In other posts on this thread, is has been clearly shown that D isn't afraid run with a design even though the implementation may be quite a ways into the future. As you yourself said, "@safe needs more work".
The reason I'm saying this is because I don't think that a subset of D which is good for tiny devices breaks the language itself. And it would also showcase D's versatility. In other words, the community may actually *gain* followers when people using other languages start to think to themselves, "You know, I can't do that in my language, not even in principle. That's pretty cool."
