It's close to my ideal language as well, which is why I've decided to take up the cause again. Unfortunately the last changes to the code were 5 years ago, and D has progressed since then. So I'm going to start over with the same ideals in mind. If anyone wants to contribute, the code will be hosted at http://github.com/pplantinga/delight

So I have what is probably a noob question: is there any way for me to compile the generated D code without packaging an entire D compiler?

If anyone is interested, I was recently working on an indentation based "alternative syntax" for D, which I have named Finesse.  Finesse is written in Lua and outputs D source code.

"Improves" is pretty subjective...

Thank you for telling that it has "Python-inspired" syntax, so I save myself time by avoiding the project...
