Use betterC, which is much better suited for

How about an alternative runtime + standard library for
embedded systems...with a least bare minimum. I've seen a
number of efforts to get D to run in those environments but
almost none of them is packaged for others to consume.

A lot of embedded stuff is done with RTOSs now that provide
memory management and threading support, so having a flexible
lightweight runtime with a generic backend (mem allocation,
threads) that I can hook to the RTOS' libraries would be great.
I'm starting work on a small runtime according to this
specification. I can't promise a whole lot; it will be
barebones. I'm targeting the STM32 series (ARM Cortex M0-4).
So far I have been able to get a class and heap allocated struct
to allocate and deallocate manually on an STM32F407 MCU. Array
bounds checking works but so far just logs the error in my IDE
and hangs. Abstract classes work too. Interfaces are giving me
trouble for some reason - they crash LDC2 1.23.0.
Going to add some proper support for D's assert(...) and array
bounds checking to make things a little easier.
