What is the D progress on the android?

That is one of dark sides of comunity-driven development.
Techincally, it is possible: at least GDC can do ARM code gen,
there is nothing inherently blocking the port in language design.
What is required is that someone will actually take his time to
port druntime and test everything. And that supposes some
substantial time investments from someone both familiar with
druntime and interested in Android dev. Looks like no such person
exist so far.
