Hi,
every time the discussion of D's feasibility for writing operating
systems pops up, I end up doing some advocacy based on my experience
with Oberon.
Similarly with another GC enabled native compiled languages like Go,
Sing# and so on.
So to avoid repeating myself all the time, I have put up a page
presenting an high overview how those systems used to be like.

Might still need some corrections, though. Specially the references to
Mesa/Cedar.
