is a simple tool that translates source code from Oberon to D.

It was intended to be thrown away after the resurrection of a single Oberon project.
(So, don't expect too much.)

But then, Bastiaan Veelo presented a very similar problem at DConf 2017.
I'm a bit late, but I hope this could help.

What is truncated remainder ever useful for, anyways? All I know it as is "that broken remainder I have to work around when writing graphics code."

very sweet! Blog Post please

Thanks for sharing! Your translation module is surprisingly concise.

As I read up a bit on Oberon, I learned that Nicklaus Wirth is still maintaining his compiler[1]. I wonder what he would think of D.

Bastiaan.
