I was able to get my C# to D convert to convert about 25% of the .net library v4.6

It converts the following libs:

// System.CodeDom
// System.CodeDom.Compiler
// System.Collections.Concurrent
// System.Collections.Generic
// System.Collections.ObjectModel
// System.Collections.Specialized
// System.ComponentModel
// System.ComponentModel.Design
// System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization
// System.Configuration
// System.Configuration.Internal
// System.Diagnostics
// System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis
// System.IO
// System.IO.Compression
// System.IO.Ports
// System.Media
// System.Timers
// System.Text.RegularExpressions

Not all code works depending on the specific but 90%+ does.

The goal is that, one day, we can effectively replace the phobos with .NET semantics if we want. It, being a nicer library, and all the source code available through reflection, makes it a nice target.  While the source code cannot be distributed, the recompiler can. In C# maps to D farily well, it is not a difficult ask.

Mono is mostly MIT, so could be redistributed (they haven't developed the full framework, but the common stuff works).

This would be very helpful for porting libraries from .NET; do you have a public repository?

Would you please publish your C# to D converter? I really need it!
