I've toyed with this idea for a while, and wondered what the
interest there is in something like this.
The idea is to be able to use a subset of D that does not
require any of druntime or phobos - it can be linked merely
with the C standard library. To that end, there'd be a compiler
switch (-betterC) which would enforce the subset.
as compiler switch I would call it according to what it does:
-noPhobos
The language itself shouldn't use a different name, if you need
to refer to it, I'd suggest to call it "d" (small D).
I find the idea intriguing - it could be useful pretty much
everywhere where still C is in use despite C++ exists for more
than two decades, not to mention other languages.
