Dax is for converting D to Haxe (D to Haxe -> Dax). And it's in it's *very* 
early stages, it outputs some *.hx files, but they don't contain anything 
other than some blank class/function definitions. There's a lot of work 
still to do on that.

I am working on a Haxe -> D program, too, called Haxed (pronounced however 
you want to pronounce it ;) ) Unfortunately, Haxed is in its very early 
stages, too. I have Haxe's preprocessor implemented, and a GOLD/Goldie 
grammar written, but that's about it. But on the bright side, converting 
Haxe to D should be a *lot* easier than converting D to Haxe (Although don't 
expect Haxe's newer macro feature to be one of the earlier features 
implemented).

The main site URL for it is here: http://www.dsource.org/projects/haxed

But there's not much there right now, not even the source repo. I'm probably 
going to host the code on BitBucket (I won't use BitBucket for anything 
else, though). In fact, I'll try to get what I have up there today.
