Why do you write D2 compiler using C++ language?

Unfortunately it is unclear to me how many current bugs/issues 
are related to stable version. On another side, I do not like to 
use stable but crippled version

I've seen many YouTube videos about D and as far a I can remember 
"million users" is at least Walter&Andre's wish. That is maybe 
good only for the Amazon books? :)

AFAIK c++ binary interoperability is very difficult problem due 
to different c++ compiler implementations.

Thanks
