Anyone for writing a D frontend ?

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?

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.

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.
