At this I can not recommend you use D based on your requirements. 
Support for Windows and Linux, however we don't have a good 
selection of users making use of different architectures such as 
those you list.

LDC is not Windows friendly (LLVM does not support exceptions on 
Windows).

It would be nice for you to join the community and try getting 
some pet projects working on the platforms you desire, as the 
community is in need of some solid work in this direction.
