To clarify, my ultimate goal with this research and the course is 
utilizing Dlang for microcontroller programming (embedded 
bare-metal). That's why the absolute absence of runtime/GC, 
minimal binary size, and strict memory control are so critical 
for my workflow.

The biggest challenge right now is that up-to-date, clear, and 
beginner-friendly documentation for this specific niche is 
practically nonexistent. I am simply trying to solve this problem 
for myself and help bridge this gap for others who want to use D 
on hardware.

Thanks for the wishes!
