Can I write applications for microcontrollers such as AVR ATMega or ARM7 on
D language?

D isn't designed to run in 8 or 16 bit at all, but even with 32 bit,
in theory, it would work, but in practice i don't think any of the
compilers and runtimes are up to it right now.

GDC's fork of Phobos and DRuntime is mostly ready for ARM, but GDC itself
currently has a few bugs there. The most significant one is that it doesn't
align struct/class fields correctly per the ARM ABI.

That's only true if Linux (or some other supported OS) is used. ARM7
could also mean the LPC2000 series, AT91SAM or similar ARM
microcontrollers. Without massive changes phobos and druntime won't work
on such systems.
