I don't doubt we can catch up, and it might be worth for the very low
hanging fruit. But our real problem isn't the backend but the amount of
bugs and small ecosystem when compared with other languages like go,
scala, swift, or even rust.

This is a simple matter of priorities.
Whether or not D succeeds won't depend on SETcc vs. SBB, but it does
depend on us delivering the most useful ecosystem.
It's so much more important to move forward with

https://trello.com/c/FbuWfpVE/54-backtraces-with-line-numbers, no matter
how much these codegen inefficiencies tickle your ambition.
