C++ support in D is 'not complete', but what's there now is still very important and not considered a bad partial feature to have. I'd imagine that likewise, if the 'core' of Obj-C support is solid, then maybe it's worth it in the same sense? OSX and iOS are 2 of the most popular platforms on earth. The mobile space is probably the most important prospective target for D. I can't comment on the state it's in. But if what's there is solid and useful like the current C++ support, then it's an important start...?
