I just wanted to again thank Walter and Brad for holding/financing the  
article contest.  I received my iPad2 last week, and it is awesome!  I  
hope to write more articles (no contest required) about D to hopefully  
entice more people into the D community.

Now I want to be able to write iOS apps in D :)

Well done again, hope you're enjoying my iPad ;p

 Now I want to be able to write iOS apps in D :)


I'm about to start working on an iOs app again, really wish I could use 
D for it, Obj-C is horrible D; (Same applys for Android/Blackberry, 
Windows Mobile/Phone are just about bearable).

 Well, you might get some satisfaction knowing that it's quickly becoming
 my wife's iPad :)

 BTW, anyone who gets an iPad2, get a smart cover, it's extremely cool.

I very much want to do iOS development, but I don't have a Mac :(  or  
time...

Maybe some day.

I guess the first would be to get GDC/LDC working on ARM and the runtime 
as well. Then Michel Fortin has his fork of DMD with Objective-C 
interface (or what to call it). Of course, this would need to be ported 
to GDC/LDC as well. After that there's just Cocoa bindings left and then 
we're all set :)
