When people work on FOUR compilers then you cannot complain about lack of resources. You then need to see if you can do something to unite efforts.
Toy languages aren't used by the sorts of people that have built their businesses around D. I don't think you do yourself any favours by adopting the tone you do. It's disrespectful and unconstructive.
I am not calling D a toy language, other people do and you have to come to terms with that. D has rough edges and is in an incomplete state, this has to be acknowledged rather than glossed over, it is dishonest and give developers too high expectations. That is disrespectful to potential adopters. And that is why these complaints resurface with a high pitched delivery.
In any case, I don't wish to divert attention from what's important, so I won't say anything more on this topic.
Having a propietary in the core product is a liability in terms of creating a foundation. That actually is important. It actually would be better to reimplement a new D backend from scratch.
