I'm not sure what Adam's getting at when he says "hopelessly broken" but it's basically a subset of D.
You're almost guaranteed to hit some wall with it and have no solution. Some of these are bugs but some of them are by design; betterC is a set of arbitrary restrictions without much consistent reasoning behind them.
For example, with dlls, you still have to deal with all the potential problems of C library version mismatches, but if you use any module that touches a D feature it is likely to compile but then fail to link when someone uses it! All pain, no gain.
