Thanks for the recommendation but I'm specifically looking to
convert my legacy python to D. The rest of the system I've build
is in D and I'd prefer single source language for ease of
development and maintenance. There's already PyD for dual
language development.
Though I probably shouldn't give in, this response does break my
cool a little bit, so one time only...

*It's perfectly okay to like other languages much better then D,
but I find it off-putting when people advocate for other
languages in a language specific forum. I don't go on Python
sites and tell them to use something else, nor do I go to the
locally owned automotive shop and tell customers in the lobby to
get their car fixed somewhere else.*
*The D forum maintainers are very tolerant (hats off to them) but
it's just crass to do this, especially on a site maintained by
volunteers. You probably didn't mean much by the recommendation,
but think of the many hours that D developers have poured into
making the language useful and how disheartening it must be for
them to see folks trying to pull away support on their own forum.*
*As far as I can tell, Mojo has nothing to do with D nor with the
thread topic.*
