A niche solution is fine by me. Etienne has expressed interest
in creating a D to asm.js converter. Now, maybe the current D
is not suitable for that, but perhaps a dialect of D would be.
I could back that. That makes two who are interested. Add 2-3
more people and we could have a train going to a station that
is niche… but productive.
Get this into upstream and you will have dozens unhappy about
updating for their code. It is never that simple.
