If you a self-hosting compiler written in D with a C backend it's easier 
to port to other platforms. You just compile the D compiler with it self 
and output C code. Then you compile the C code on another platform.

I didn't say we should scrap the compilers written in C++. As I've said, 
write the compiler in D and provide a C interface to it.
