D better C mode is getting better with each version actually, even if there are some corners to fix. [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managed_Extensions_for_C%2B%2B

because it has all the pieces of the puzzle to turn into a C, like D that has a -betterC flag I hope that maybe they add something like that for C#.

I also hope you keep working on D(betterC) but for now I stick with C, generating C using bb(clojure) is also an option.
