AFAIK if you port D1 code the only problem is with
immutable(char)[] instead of string, and the only thing to know
is that immutable(T) and T implicitely convert to const(T).
A lot of D1 code was 32-bit only, so there will be tons of uint
instead of size_t.
Implicit string concatenation was also a thing. I tried porting
Jarrett Billingsley's Croc (aka MiniD) to D2, and that was the
most common issue I encountered.
A lot of things are objectively better like build systems,
ecosystems, stability, meta-programming, CTFE, OPTLINK,
Phobos...
Most of the D1 ecosystem died with dsource.org, yes.
D1 code doesn't have a modern Phobos, but it does have Tango
available, which might help.
