Goals

Our goal is to implement a compiler for a subset of D, in D. The are two reasons why we are only aiming for a subset:

• We know we can implement a subset fully, going for a little depth rather than width.
• We are only two persons using some of our sparetime. It would take a lot of time to make a full D compiler.

What we really want is of course a complete D compiler. So whenever we reach our targeted subset, we'll target a slightly more complex subset - a little closer to the full language.

Currently targeted subset

Currently, we try to implement the features in the following list.

• Full struct support - including members and functions.
• Full function support - return any value, etc.
• Nested functions
• Pointers
• Arrays
• Integer and Float types including implicit casts.

Take a look at Features to see the current status.
