I've recently ported libfirm to D.
This nice C library, developed at the Karlsruhe university,
allows to build compiler back-ends, using the SSA intermediate
representation.
In theory it could even be used to make a new D compiler
version, e.g "FDC", although this is obviously of no interest ;)
So this is mostly to make JIT scripting engines or back-ends
for toy languages...
See:

Note that unfortunately this library is LGPL2 licensed, so much
less usable than LLVM-d, which is a similar but a more
mainstream library.
Very nice, I remember checking this one out a while back.
I don't see the files from the ADT module though, was there a
reason they weren't included?
