well, maybe just maybe you shouldn't wait after all.
i'm sure the model will change, perhaps quite a bit,
but programmers are already stepping up to bat and
there are only so many converters that need coding.
in addition to "official" converters from john macfarlane
-- one of which is written in c, the other in javascript --
commonmark already has two more in other languages.
in php:> https://github.com/colinodell/commonmark-php
in c#:> https://github.com/Knagis/CommonMark.NET
hopefully the commonmark team will vet these converters,
to ensure they're currently accurate and will be maintained
-- not just to give correct results, but also _work_ correctly --
and prevent a flock of "me-too" forks muddying the waters...
a solid line of converters, sleek but complete, is all we need.
