D? You sure you can get a compiler for that on an "obscure platform"? Do the libraries you want to use work when the GC is off?

You can use D on platforms LLVM amd gcc support. Some libraries work, some don't. Stick @nogc on main and you're guaranteed to not use the GC. Besides, on constrained systems you're not going to be wanting many dependencies.
