In addition to what others have said: there are many ways you can 
contribute to D without needing to know anything about compiler 
internals. For example, you could fix one of the many [known bugs 
in the standard library][1], or improve the documentation.

In general, there are more things that need to be done in D than 
there are people with the time to do them, so any contribution is 
valuable.
