Bernd posted on the NG about a blog post by tinymail maintainer Philip Van Hoof that announced some interesting news from Michael Dominick. Michael has D up and running on the Nokia 770, with a picture on flickr to show it off. Philip also appears to be a fan of D, saying it “would be the [language] that I would use myself for writing applications.”
As D gets picked up by more people with time on their hands, it’s going to be interesting to see where it turns up. I only care about Windows and Mac myself, but it’s still fun to see it ported to other platforms. I wonder if I’ll one day be creating Derelict bindings for the Khronos Group’s OpenKODE API collection.

Nice, I’d love to see D replace C++ some day.
Baby steps! I’d love to see D get more dynamic features found in managed languages like Java and C#. For example, I often put Java’s dynamic instantiation to use and I really miss it when I use D.
