I see, I was mostly thinking in Android and/or other platforms, 
but it does seem like heavy work, though curiously this approach 
seems to be working for Nim (at least so far), is it that the 
language is better suited for that, or simply that more work has 
been put into it? (not bashing D, honest curiosity)
