The Druntime and Phobos teams have already done 70% of the work. AFAIK, missing D2 features are: - TLS symbols: Need to be more than just stub variables, but still just about usable as they are. - DbC: In/Out Contract Inheritance not implemented. Rest is either ironing out the corner cases of codegen, or working on some fancy GCC addition.
