c++ to d converter or c to d

[janderson]

Lame question 343242#

Has anyone written a c++ to d converter (I'm not talking about wrapping 
a lib, I'm talking about the syntax)?  I'm not volunteering however I 
was thinking if it was made easier to convert c++ to d people may be 
more likely to switch over.

If not I'm sure it would be a challenge however if it could do 90% of 
the work (and perhaps even automatically download the dependent 
libraries from a webpage and convert stl over to d's form) people would 
be able to say, "hay I converted our project to d on the weekend, its 
50% in code size and runs just as fast, why don't we switch over and 
improve our productivity."  Well thats a just a dream, but it would help 
I think.

Legacy code is the biggest hurdle in getting D widely accepted.  No-one 
is going re-invent years of work.
