If you haven't done so, I'd recommend reading the blog posts
from Walter to get an understanding of why BetterC was
introduced and how to use it:

- betterC does not need glue code to interop with C. Does it
achieve this by "gluing" behind the scenes? I've read in a
comment somewhere that the ABI is the same, but idk people say
lots of things.
You're declaring your D code extern(C), as you can see in
Walter's blog posts, so yes, you're using the C ABI.
The blog post contextualizes evilrat's comment too. It facilities
code migration because conversion is also easier (given adequate
attention to C's quirks). After that you can start using D
features on top of converted code. That won't help much on my
Wasm use case, but it might, now that I know more about the ABI
thing.
Thank you.
