Dear D community,
I've been urged by many others to post about Amber here. It is
a
programming language being derived from D1, with a compiler
written
using D1 and Tango, with LLVM and C backends. The quality of
code and
documention is alpha (or pre-alpha).

For some reason it seems one of my post didn't show up.
Is Amber backwards compatible with D1? Will all valid D1 code
be valid Amber code, except for some new keywords?
No, Amber is not backwards compatible with D1. That is not it's
purpose. It is probably close enough to 'fairly easily' convert
D1 code (ie. converting Tango hasn't been a huge ordeal).
