There are still a few .c files in https://github.com/dlang/dmd/tree/master/src/dmd/backend, so what's the significance of those? tk.c fp.c os.c strtold.c tk/mem.c These could be converted too, but are independent from everything else and hardly seem worth the bother. Sebastian has a PR for os.cd. Will there ever be a day when we no longer need a C/C++ compiler to build DMD? Sure. Has that day arrived? Pragmatically, yes. Technically, no.

If so congrats on version one ! :p

Will all dlang repositories monitored? Or more specific, does this also includes the dub repository? The pull request list is really hot here. Kind regards Andre My current focus is DMD > druntime > phobos > dlang.org Unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience with the dub codebase (or access right for that matter) though I agree it could really benefit. Looks like I've got some source-diving to do.
