I believe mobile hardware is get more and more powerful and 
necessary for everybody.  The next year Arm A77 and Apple A13  
will fast then laptop.

This is a huge market and the largest number of user groups ever. 
   D core team should take mobile serious and provide basic 
support.

The current status is limit support from LDC team,  and  about 
zero man hours investment into IOS for so many years(last release 
since 2015).

Android in a better status, but we loss the key developer last 
year.


Consider there is consider there is about five billion people use 
mobile every more than 2 hours every day, but  D language 
developer  investment zero man hours into IOS for so many years.

I can't image how many opportunity is passed for D.
