Hey!
I have recently started working on a 64bit kernel written in
only D (and
a little bit of assembly where it is really needed).
I finally got it to boot today in 64bit mode. All it currently
do is
just print some text and numbers to the screen.
It uses Adam D. Ruppes minimal D runtime, with some small
modifications.
I have a precompiled ISO here, if anyone wants to try it:
https://github.com/Vild/PowerNex/releases/tag/v0.0.0-ALPHA
The project is fully opensource and located at
https://github.com/Vild/PowerNex
I livestream the development of this almost everyday at
https://livecoding.tv/Wild/
Hopefully someone will find this interesting.
All feedback is appreciated.

So whats the plan?
- 32bit support
- ARM support
What else?
Well, from the README I'd say the goal is a complete x86-64 OS
The goal is to have a whole OS written in D, where PowerNex
powers the core.
This project looks great and it's not easy writing a x86-64
bootloader even with GRUB and a reference to work from, Nice work!
