https://bitbucket.org/timosi/minlibd
contains a modified runtime library and a toolset with a working 
example.
It supports many D language features like object creation.

There are some register definitions but it is far from complete.
Suggestions and contributions are welcome.

One thing why the project is going so slowly is the issue with 
accessing peripheral registers. The official D does not want to 
support register access directly, but only with library 
functions. In gdc it is possible with shared variables but this 
feature is unstable.

There are some Cortex-m users hanging here but so far any big 
project has not been made.
