AFAIK dil is D1.
I know about Dil. aziz is great, the project is great. However, I know and want to use D2/Phobos. Plus, if I'm going to spend years on a project, I may as well use stuff I like. Furthermore, SDC didn't start out as a full compiler. Just playing around with lexing/parsing D. NIH syndrome, too.
