Syntax question...

[RA]

I was curious about how hard it would be to create a different “language
front end” for D?  
Since you (Walter) have made the compiler front end (lexer, parser, etc)
source code available,
would it be possible for someone to modify it and create a different (for
example, something 
more like VB) language syntax that would still work with the back end
compiler?
 
I realize most of you long time C\C++ programmers probably couldn’t see any
need for 
such a thing, but others of us (at least me) would prefer something not
quite as cryptic 
as C like syntax.
 
I’ve never written a compiler\lexer\parser\etc. so I don’t know what all
would be involved 
in creating a different syntax.  In theory, it doesn’t seem like it should
be “all” that hard

But then, naiveté is great isn’t it.  :-)
