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?).

	Walter Bright certainly not agree to, Because there are too many bug of d the current, d is  Incompetent .
