I don't know whether D can run on one, but from a quick look

bare metal programming language.
Only 1Mb of flash RAM for the program - is that enough?
Yes, with the right techniques.
Everything one needs to get started is documented at

Thanks, Mike.
I have a mind to do this when time just to make a point next time
someone who has never used the language starts on about the GC...
;)
Unfort without libraries to control wifi unit or ultrasound,
that's of minimal value today, but I am sure someone will figure
that out in time.
