Using D for programming ARM Cortex-M 32-bit microcontrollers is 
one of my primary interests for learning and contributing to D.

When 2.081 arrives at LDC, I'll hopefully get that demonstration 
working with LDC.

-betterC is not necessary, but you have to be selective about 
which features you use in D.  Some parts of Phobos could be used, 
but they'd have to be selectively pulled out of  the source code.
