You don't necessarily need to understand assembly to write a JIT. 
You could instead have your bytecode take the form of D functions 
(such as int16 addI16(int16 a, int16 b), for instance) so you're 
essentially generating an array of D functions then iterating 
over them evaluating them. This would obviously be slower than 
generating assembly directly, but would still be faster than an 
interpreter, and you could still do some optimisation on it.
