And when it works well, then it can slowly be adapted to use D features, etc. The advantage of this way is that you then can program in D instead of C++, and later people that want to help in the development of this don't need to know C++ too. Another advantage is that such good amount of D code can give ideas to improve D itself. I think someone has tried to do this, but I think there's no working compiler yet (maybe DIL?).

approve  to implement D frontend  from scratch with D2.
Should be  to absorb more committer of those, like ddmd and dil author,  do not just one person's project, to form a more powerful community .
