On this note, I think D is missing out on a lot of opportunities 
provided by the LLVM infrastructure. A lot of neat things are 
built ontop of LLVM now - for example, nim and rust are taking 
advantage of LLVM's emscripten/pnacl support to write web 
programs, and Rust is being used for GPU programming by making 
use of LLVM's PTX target.

On the D side, AFAIK Calypso is only possible because of LLVM - 
but to be fair I haven't really looked at it.
