Interesting project! How did you move from D to Styx? (I assume 
bootstrapping means a self hosting compiler?) Did you write some 
scripts to translate?

I've found myself to sketch new programming languages whenever I 
hit things in existing languages that I find annoying over the 
past decade or so. I finally decided to start on a lexer for 
it... How long did it take you to get where you are now?
