Firstly is there some progress on the DDMD project or maybe an
other D boostrap?
The old ddmd project is pretty much dead AFAIK
(http://www.dsource.org/projects/ddmd) and was never up to date
with the current compiler.
For about a year I've been working on automatically converting
the compiler source from C++ to D.
The conversion has produced a working compiler on
win32/linux32/linux64 (other platforms need trivial patches)
that compiles druntime/phobos/the test suite without errors.
The current effort is around cleaning up the C++ source to
produce higher quality D code. The next major step is to
actually switch development to the D version.
Outstanding patches:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1980
Conversion tool:

You can see some of the recent patches (marked DDMD) here:

By the way, what is the plan for all the outstanding pull
requests that are still in C++?
