D in Ubuntu apps ecosystem

Maybe you might only be thinking about Android or iOS, but Ubuntu 
Touch (a single Ubuntu OS meant to run across multiple devices 
from PC to Phones) is really gaining traction. The good news is 
that QML is officially the way to build apps and D already has 
dqml(https://github.com/filcuc/dqml). Back-end(optional) is also 
C++ with API bindings in Go and JavaScript. D currently has good 
support for C++.

SIDE NOTE: Ubuntu just lunched a phone with 4GB ram running on a 
x64 Octacore Arm processors in addition to a table with similar 
high spec, which can all pretty much handle D(even with GC) IMO. 
All subsequent devices will be high spec since the OS will run 
desktop apps on phone and even IoT.

So, do you not think Ubuntu ecosystem makes a good and easy to 
enter market? Unfortunately, I don't have the fuel and engine 
power to make API bindings, so anyone willing to help here?
