is there something like `stm32-rs` in D?

I think you should get in touch with Mike Franklin and see what 
are his plans with the demo code. I know there were some blocking 
issues and he was working to solve them.

Maybe the tool-chain and language is mature enough to revisit 
this project and make it production ready. I'm not an MCU expert 
but maybe you can join in with ideas and some insights and help 
boot-strap a new project.
