It seems unlikely :). I got interested in D a couple of years ago and  
it seemed to be a nice attempt at a modern C-like language that didn't  
have all the baggage of C++. This project at least partly is my 'learn  
the language' project. D language features (garbage collection,  
dynamic arrays, associative arrays) have certainly made writing this a  
much more pleasant experience than trying to do the same thing in C++.
