It's been done before. In fact, there was a talk at the most recent dconf from someone who has been working on one: https://dconf.org/2023/index.html#zachy The video isn't up yet though, since the videos are currently in the process of getting rendered and uploaded to youtube. https://forum.dlang.org/thread/rgevjorzaoeylhwii...@forum.dlang.org - Jonathan M Davis
Re: Is it possible to create a kernel for an operating system in D?
Indeed it is. Many people have done projects in this vein, the language isn't the limitation. If you use the -betterC switch, you can fairly quickly get up and going and program a kernel as if you were using C, except with a nicer language. All other considerations like linker scripts ext. still apply however.

It seems very obvious, but I have not been able to find any information on the subject to confirm this. So I'm wondering if it's possible. ** Maybe I shouldn't have created the account, literally this will be one of the few doubts I'll have about D :u, but it'll be worth it I guess **.
Re: Vibe.d download function, how to get callback when done or error?

There is a callback for the streaming side but not for the file download. You might misunderstand how vibe is doing async. Basically, that fiber is put to sleep until the download is finished, and then you get the result. You write your code as if it were synchronous. If you call this outside of an async context, vibe will start up an event loop and run it until your download is done. -Steve
