The official stance is that we don't.  There is just far too much
baggage that gets piled in by default that makes it very hostile,
however those of us who are capable of doing so won't try to stop you,
and you have the likes of minilibd and other minimal D libraries as
friendly replacement, perhaps you could even use them on top of musl.
;-)

The same arguments that are normally brought up about C++ being used
on 16bit processors also apply to D I guess.
