That's nice, except that neither are suitable as a replacement for your 
proprietary D2 compiler, which is the reference compiler and where all 
the bleeding edge work is done.

So strong statements like "D is fully open source" are misleading. The 
open source compilers are always playing catch-up, and the people that 
could be helping you out on the compiler are instead replicating your 
efforts.
