Nevertheless, I don't see a successful D kernel in the
foreseeable future. Building a kernel for IoT devices is
trendy, but you want a lot more portability for that and C
compilers are everywhere. On the server, you could build a
hypervisor OS with D, but currently containers are hyped so
much more. You'd only have a chance, if you also port the JVM
onto your D-OS. Still, where is the advantage to Linux?
Who knew containers will suddenly become a thing? You never know
what might happen, a D kernel might as well be the game changer.
