What's your goals with aiming C#? What's the use case?

I did wrapping mono for unity engine interop, however despite 
that D has many similarities with C#, its VM API is not designed 
for such scenario. I've also read Unity devs experience with .net 
core, and they were having troubles with internal calls(i.e. 
registering native function to implement .net method), because 
unlike Mono in .NET Core those are hardcoded.

And my biggest problem with Mono is that it seems there is no way 
to bind native function as delegate, that means events are not 
possible without writing C# wrappers, and having to write them 
manually defeats the whole purpose. There is still at least one 
possible option, to implement utility that automatically 
generates glue code necessary between C#/D, but Roslyn based 
plugin itself will add ~15Mb to distribution of 1Mb D plugin. But 
sure, this is not a problem comparing to monolithic UE4 build 
~100Mb executable...
