Where can I download the compiler for this reduced-D? Let's be honest - 
even with upx exe compressor the binaries are huge. If you have micro-
controllers with 64 to 128 kB of ROM, the best you can do with dmd is a 
'hello world'. Unless a better fork of the language is made (without 
extra typeinfo, with optional gc - we need a compiler switch, compiling 
the stdlib is a PITA, and without template bloat -> smart linker, not 
some legacy crap made with assembler). A single version of D can't serve 
the tastes of all audiences.
