Right, it's not a 3-digit problem. It's probably a 5-digit problem,
but in the D community, a 4-digit sum requires quite a bit of
rallying.
I think if someone (like yourself) who had the confidence of the
community and a record for delivering were to take the challenge, we
could probably arrange to fund it.
Most computers on earth run Android or iOS, and it's embarrassing for
us that we don't have a toolchain that works out of the box, and
passes CI.
We even have extern(Objective-C) readily available! It's such a missed
opportunity!
