Has anyone tried it?

I haven't, but I'm hoping to do some work on Windows 10 when it's released; I'm ordering a phone this week (but no promises; I have a lot on my plate).  I work with embedded systems and given the possibility of universality in Windows 10, it looks like a worthwhile experiment to see what D can do on that platform: desktop, phones, and embedded systems (http://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/GetStarted.htm).

Probably not, considering even Android is only partially working.  iOS is much farther along though.

One issue is that exception-handling in LDC for ARM isn't fully working yet.  I'm looking into it.

As for GDC, it appears that they got exception-handling working for linux/ARM, but I doubt they've done anything with Windows Phone.

Cool thanks.

MS has been working hard to unify their desktop/phone platforms, so I'm wondering how hard it would be. Just curious for now though.

Has anyone tried to submit an app for iOS with D code in it yet? I'm going to be putting out a game in the next little while, so I was thinking about sticking a D plugin in it to see if it raised any eyebrows.

Not to my knowledge, but please do try.  The D iOS toolchain built by [1] only creates the armv7 libraries, but I have all the pieces staged to support universal libs for running in the x86 iOS Simulator too.  I expect to have that up on github in a week along with prebuilt binaries.

I am curious to see what App Store says about a submission.  If there are problems, then we can hopefully make fixes.  I will be happy to help

Actually... Apple recently started enforcing the requirement for 64bit support. Unless the code is built for both armv7 and arm64, iTunes/XCode will reject it.

The LDC runtime contains at least one private function, to access TLS data.

That reminds me, I have to email tech support again. I tried emailing apple to ask if their private-API guideline applies to their open-source APIs as well. They were shutting down for 2 weeks at the time though.

I guess arm64 just moved up on my TODO list.

ARM has been passing the D2 testsuite since DConf 2013...

The only thing I can comment on exceptions is that you can't enforce nothrow on ARM unless you deem it expected behaviour for a thrown Error to cause execution to crash violently.
