Roadmap and progress?

[GavinRay97]

Hello, I find this project very interesting

If someone wanted to help/continue the work, it would be immensely valuable if you shared technical details of your plan on how to make this work, and current progress/known issues.

From what I can see, you have:

• A program which can convert D source code to equivalent Java source
• Converted D stdlib and Phobos to Java, so the same runtime functions are available on the JVM
• Use D's own parser (converted to JVM) to be able to parse D source from JVM

The next step would be to produce Truffle AST nodes from the D AST nodes?

Hi, glad you find it interesting. For me it was an interesting challenge, too bad it kinda stagnated because of it being a “one man show”.

So yes I got to the point where I’m having the same AST as dmd’s parser would output. The next steps are tricky - need to perform the same semantic analysis (so more code to convert) and replace dmd’s AST interpreter with Truffle-based interpreter. Thus we do not need backend really - just get the interpreter going. Further steps include allowing to import Java’s classes with the same import statement. The benefit is arguably quite interesting - we get Java superior GC, full range of libraries including JDK.
