Mainly because I stopped working on it to do D full time.

Although I remain the only person to have implemented a soup-to-nuts C++ 
compiler, simultaneously doing two languages proved beyond me :-)

Just to be clear, without the DMC++ back end, D would never have happened. For 
example, Windows 64 support became critical a few years ago. GDC and LDC were 
quite inadequate on it (they've since improved greatly) and we would have been 
severely negatively impacted if I hadn't upgraded the backend for Win64.

It's a great strength of D that we have 3 well-supported compilers, DMD, LDC and 
GDC.
