Where can I download the compiler for this reduced-D? Let's be honest - even with upx exe compressor the binaries are huge. If you have micro- controllers with 64 to 128 kB of ROM, the best you can do with dmd is a 'hello world'. Unless a better fork of the language is made (without extra typeinfo, with optional gc - we need a compiler switch, compiling the stdlib is a PITA, and without template bloat -> smart linker, not some legacy crap made with assembler). A single version of D can't serve the tastes of all audiences.
