Is modern D ready for "embedded first" paradigm?

[Dmitry Ponyatov]

Reading some posts about the D language here and there I found 
some opinion that D is not popular because it still did not find 
its kill features set and application domain.

What do you think about promoting D lang as a main development 
language for embedded, IoT, and real-time multimedia & automation 
applications?

Is D ready in its current state (including runtime, stdlib and 
side libraries) to follow the cross-compile way as a main method 
of its usage? (GDC/LDC)

Many decades the classical C and some limited set of C++ plays in 
this area, but nowadays embedded (Arduino, Raspberry, etc) raised 
its usage among hobbits and not so qualified and non-professional 
programmers and users. Maybe this directon can push the D 
language in its evolution and popularity, as people now needs 
some multiplatform optimizing compiler for rich and handy 
language but not so complex as classical C, or mbed/Arduino-like 
C++ dialects?
