A niche solution is fine by me. Etienne has expressed interest in 
creating a D to asm.js converter. Now, maybe the current D is not 
suitable for that, but perhaps a dialect of D would be. I could 
back that. That makes two who are interested. Add 2-3 more people 
and we could have a train going to a station that is niche… but 
productive.
