The one of major issues is: how to access hardware. We need a language
feature to access hardware registers.
What features do Rust and Nim provide for such?

I was not the one who compared the languages and I have never used rust
or nim. I just pointed out that d had no way to access registers
properly. DMD and GDC optimize very heavily and may cache, reorder and
remove any access they think is not needed.
Other languages may not have such optimizations and registers can be
accessed just with normal memory oprations.
How do volatileLoad() and volatileStore() in core.bitop fail to meet
such needs? -- Andrei
