Actually I was getting sleepy and had to do something else the 
next day, so I couldn't start right away.
But I'll have to learn using GitHub - I've never used it before, 
due to the problems, so I'm a newbie here (feels strange to be a 
newbie after being a nerd for so long). I'll try and see if I can 
find out how to mirror my repository and will post a note here if 
I succeed. :)

Mike's examples and talk was very inspiring. If he hadn't made 
these, I would probably not have gotten "hungry" for starting my 
D-support on microcontrollers.
-But showing that "it's basically possible" meant a huge 
difference.

I couldn't agree more. D has so many advantages over C and C++ on 
microcontrollers. :)
I hope that I can get a "low-cost" support for associative 
arrays. When I say low-cost, I mean something like using a 
minimal malloc/free, in order to reduce the final binary.
(I've written a minimal malloc/free/realloc in C already, it's 
stress-tested and in use in someone else's application at the 
moment, so it may be ready for porting already)
