You might consider looking at other OSs; Plan 9 from Bell Labs, for
instance, is a full kernel that adopts some microkernel properties while
weighing in at much less code than many ľkernels.  Not to get in to a
“my kernel type is better than yours” contest, but a small, clean,
modular design might well benefit from re-implementation in D while the
semantics of a particular µkernel might be a mis-match with D’s object
model.

Good luck & have fun with whatever you decide on.
