It is possible to translate D to LLVM IR :) Proven by LDC.
You are probably aware of this, but LLVM IR isn't a »VM
language« of any kind, but rather a SSA-form immediate
representation similar to what other compilers use – LLVM
officially is not even an acronym for Low Level Virtual Machine
(anymore).

I didn't know that acronym has been abandoned.
