I've seen a few posts similar to this but they were quite old and probably have outdated information, so I'd like to ask again - what is the situation with D on the major mobile platforms? can compile a hello world using Phobos on it. Thanks, Mitchell

Hi Mitchell - For iOS, if you are willing to build the LLVM + LDC compiler chain, then please try: https://github.com/smolt/ldc-iphone-dev The readme lists the current state of things.

I am trying to decide weather to cleanup and post more complicated app examples or push ios branch changes into ldc and D-Programming-Language git repos. Lately I've been doing the later.That looks awesome. I really hope iOS and Android support make it into LDC, that would make picking the language for my next cross platform app very easy indeed :)

For some of my recent indie dabblings, Unreal Engine 4 has recently started tempting me to try it out as a possible alternative to Unity3D (not that Unity is at all bad). The user-facing side is already C++, so if I could just bridge over to D without giving up iOS/Android, that could go a long way toward pulling me over.
