I was just looking over the upcoming talks in the llvm devroom at 
FOSDEM, in preparation for Kai Nacke's talk about ldc in a couple 
hours (you can stream it here: http://streaming.fosdem.org), when 
I read about RubyMotion, which uses llvm to provide 
native-compiled ruby apps for OS X and iOS:

http://www.rubymotion.com/features/

It is commercial and partially open source, a model I've 
suggested for D before:

https://github.com/HipByte/RubyMotion

There are a lot of mobile devs looking for a better programming 
language in that booming field and D is really missing out by not 
being on mobile, where its ease of use and efficiency would 
really shine.  This would be a great opportunity for someone to 
port D to iOS and provide a similar, partially closed commercial 
implementation.
