If you remove all of that then how good would D- be in regard with
existing languages being used for the same tasks?
For example, MikroEletronica sells C, Basic and Pascal compilers that
target everything from a small PIC up to big ARMs.

I can also get Ada for embedded systems programming, which was actually
one of Ada's design goals,

So what does D- bring to the table, besides fragmenting the community?
