Right, but (sorry if this is already clear) there's no textual QAST language; you currently must be running in NQP to create the node objects. If you wanted to use a Perl5-bootstrapped Muldis D to produce QAST, you could write it to some serialization on disk, then you would need to deserialize that tree in NQP code and use the regular compiler toolchain there.
