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.*

I agree with your post so much.
It's like answering "Why not fry a nugget instead?" to the
question "How do I fry an egg?"
