That being the case, I'm not sure I can give up my addiction to Jetbrains Resharper. Do you think a fully automated translation from C#->D is possible so that I can continue to primary develop using C# tools? I'm not too worried about library support- I can reimplement whatever I need, just the language itself. Also, is the threading support and memory model of D1.0 solid and performant? I'm a little unclear about how synchronization is achieved. I see the synchronized keyword and I've seen some references to using mutexes, but I don't really have a clear picture. Thanks
