Having a compiler written in D may help people from the community to 
try and understand the compiler's code written in their favorite 
langage, so there may be more people invested here. You have much more 
volunteers to write D code for the library for example.

However, as long as the langage (and phobos?) is not stable, it does not 
seems to be a good idea to write the compiler in D. We want the compiler 
to be safe and stable at first.
