I've done a little bit of playing around with DDMD for a (still only just 
barely-started) project, and it seems to be fairly well up to the task of 
building an AST and running semantics. It is still based on a somewhat older 
version of D2, though, and my understanding is that actually building a 
real-world program with it is still impractical (though I haven't tried).
