Recently I have understood a simple thing, that is why the creators of the 
SPARK (an Ada subset) compiler have written it using itself, also writing down 
proof of the whole compiler: you can't create a language that allows to write 
very bug-free code if its compiler has many bugs, because even if the user 
programs are bug-free, the bugs in the compiler will produce buggy programs 
anyway. This means that if D wants to become a quite safe (= low bug count) 
language, it will need to kill most of the bugs in its compiler(s) too.
