I was curious about how hard it would be to create a different “language front end” for D?

Since you (Walter) have made the compiler front end (lexer, parser, etc) source code available,

would it be possible for someone to modify it and create a different (for example, something

more like VB) language syntax that would still work with the back end compiler?

I realize most of you long time C\C++ programmers probably couldn’t see any need for

such a thing, but others of us (at least me) would prefer something not quite as cryptic

as C like syntax.

I’ve never written a compiler\lexer\parser\etc. so I don’t know what all would be involved

in creating a different syntax. In theory, it doesn’t seem like it should be “all” that hard…

But then, naiveté is great isn’t it. J
