I'm new in the programming, systems programming especially, but
I want to learn D more as a systems programming language and by

simple operating system totaly in D (using Assembly wherever is
needed) and by progressing in that project, learning this
powerfull language as the main systems programming language.
Any help/advice on this goal will be really
helpful/appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Based upon what I've read on the forum:
Try and get a minimal druntime first. Doing so will make you
understand what is required to make it work.
You won't have access to the GC so a lot of language features
(like slices) are out of the question.
There are some copies of druntime floating about for embedded
which will probably help you.
I don't know how easy it would be to get a bootloader to call a D
kernel although it has been done.
