There was a D runtime years ago created as a separate project
around the time that Druntime had its beginnings (as Ares) that
had no dependencies on standard C.  The creator went by Maide in
IRC, and she was doing some really cool stuff with it that made D
work kind of like ObjectiveC.  I don't think it's in development
any more, but it's probably possible to track it down with enough
googling.
