Really?! Java doesn't have any problems with that.

The problem with D's garbage collector is that it just a very old implementation, with performance problems and they lack contributions to improve it.

Those are all running on RTOSes such as RT Linux on an X86/PPC or full ARM platform.

Those won't run on an ARM Cortex M chip, where your current options are effectively ASM, Ada, or C if you want high performance and low price and power consumption.

They also run bare metal.

Do you want commercial products specifically targeted for ARM Cortex M chip with GC enabled languages?

Bare metal Oberon compilers for ARM Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M3:
