On December 28th there will be a talk about "libd and the Slate project" at
the annual Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, Germany.

http://events.ccc.de/congress/2007/Fahrplan/events/2321.en.html

Summary:
We present libd, a high-level runtime for the D programming language and the
Slate project, an attempt at a high-level OS and environment built upon
libd, as the next major step in improving the state of programming
environments and operating systems. With high-level abstractions, and
sensible design, the state of implementation of open-source OSes can
improve. We leverage existing kernels when implementing Slate, and put an
extensive (abstraction-oriented) architecture above the kernel to present
the user (or programmer) with a system they can use by having to do less to
perform a specific function. Our virtual machine approach also allows for
security verification on a level not seen in *nix OSes before.

Usually, live steams and video recordings are available:

These Obj C-like "message passing" modifications to the D language sound 
intriguing.  Any more about that?  Is it actually implemented or are you 
just thinking aloud still?  [I ask because one of the slides lists 
implementation as a "future direction" ... "perhaps".]

Dunno, I'm not affiliated with the project either, but during the talk, the
speaker said that their libd runtime library, based on their "slightly modified
variant of the D programming language", you be available within a month or so
from now.

The messaging has been implemented since last summer.  I'll leave those 
who are involved with the project to say more about it.
