I've been working on resurrecting the great work done by Michel Fortin. It's updated to 64bit and the modern runtime. It runs on OS X 32 and 64bit and should run on iOS with minor tweaks.

But there is still a matter of ARM/iOS runtime correct?

Those merges will go to 2.067?

Yes, but that is nothing I'm working on. Although other people are working on that.

I have no idea.

That's cool stuff.

How will Swift influence this? I'm pretty sure that Apple's strategy is to get rid of Objective-C ASAP and use Swift whereever possible.

Swift is ABI compatible with Objective-C. So anything that works across Swift and Objective-C should, in theory, work across Swift and D.
