What's the current state of D on iOS and Android? I know someone has been
working on connecting D up to Objective-C somehow, and either GDC or LDC has
at least partial support for Arm (but with some caveats, right?).
Has anyone actually made anything in D on iOS and/or Android? It is feasable
yet? (On just one, or on both?) If not, what's needed?

I want this. And if there's any way D android apps could run without rooting the phone, then I /really/ want this.
I've been thinking there really should be a nice central repository for information relating to D cross compilers, associated patches and build process/scripts...Perhaps an official section on d-p-l? I'd *really* love to see simple buildscripts for linux users, and pre-built mingw toolchains for Windows.
This would really stimulate cross platform usage of D I think; relaxing the requirement that an interested user understands, and is capable of building the toolchain themselves.
Particularly Android; I think D could make a strong and immediate splash for Android devs looking to avoid the Java front end/UI system.
