I set up a few sections on the Wiki4D about porting to D from various languages.  I would like to encourage anyone who has advice to D to add to the appropriate pages:

http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?PortingOverview

And if the appropriate page doesn't exist (ObjC or Fortran or whatnot), just add it.  It's a wiki!

I plan to add more to the C++ page, but I probably won't touch the others any further (except maybe to make minor edits to what others write).

Great,
I've added a few lines.

I could do soemthing on C++ to Java, though I'm not sure how relevant that would be ;-P.

Sure! Then the C++ to D porting section can be just one line: "See C++ to Java section and then Java to D section".

Or not.  :-P

You can do something on C++ to Java but nothing on C++ to D ?

Incredibele  :)

Seriously, advice regarding porting from major languages to D is indeed a win!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
.. like to suggest to use the C++ to D stuff as Draft, because it is a systematic approach.
Just my opinion

I have added a few lines to the C++ section : *Windows specific Issues*.
Would be nice if somebody is willing to verify.
You'll find it at

Thanks
