The original intent behind BetterC was to make it easier to 
integrate D modules into existing C projects and easier to port C 
projects to D. But it's 100% possible to go all out with it on a 
full project.

However, that's not how it's intended to be used and ecosystem 
support for it is limited. Going that route, you lose a lot of 
good D features and most of the standard library, and you'll have 
to roll a lot of your own stuff. If you're okay with that, then 
do what you want.
