I don't think that's important for porting. To quote:

I'm still amazed that this is even possible. But it makes me think
what does JS have over D that makes this possible? I have a feeling
it's only down to the number and capability of people working on such
a project which guarantees it's success (JS is important, and the
Unreal Engine is important).
I'd have to see the source code and the translated code to form any judgement
about that.
