Uh.. I am. That is I am (really slowly) writing one. I have the lexer and some bits of the parser and a few ideas on the rest, but that's it so far. I'm also planing on doing a backend as well.

I'm 100% behind someone else doing it! But I think BCS is already well on the way? Is BCS a student? --bb

LLVMDC is not a frontend project... I uses DMD!

Which... is a frontend. He's porting the DMD frontend from using the DMC backend to using a LLVM backend. You are correct in that he is not writing the frontend from scratch, but that doesn't make it any less cool. -- Daniel

I invite everyone to extend http://seatd.mainia.de. It's the fundation of a D frontend written in convenient and compact grammar notation. The parser is almost complete (should be only details missing), semantic analysis needs to be done. In any case, i will extend it as need arises to improve the Code Navigation functionality in SEATD.
