Can this be done in D? How easy is it? What about the runtime?

yes.
 How easy is it?
it depends of your experience and readyness to live without phobos and GC.
 What about the runtime?
you may need to write one which will include only functions your program requires. p.s. i've not visited the link.

Here's a link to my 56 byte "Hello, World!" program for the ARM Cortex-M platform in D. And, if I only used the string "Hello!" like the rust example, I believe it would be 47 bytes. http://goo.gl/qWhpVX Mike

Without performing any linker magic. import core.stdc.stdio; import core.stdc.stdlib; extern(C) void main() { printf("Hello!\n"); exit(0); } EOF -fno-emit-moduleinfo -nostdlib --entry=main small.d -lc -o small 2488 small Hello!

Would be considered linker magic to use _start(), write() and _exit() instead? :) -- Paulo
