Thank you for Boost licensing it!
Happy if it can help you in anyway. We have imported some code
from Druntime/Phobos as well, so licensing it all under BOOST
made sense.
We first used the markdown parser from vibe.d, when we threw
the CommonMark testsuit, 10 tests segfaulted and 1
infinite-spun in a loop somewhere in the code. We then rewrote
from scratch using the recommended practices from the
CommonMark spec and the XML output from cmark as a guide.
The code is used in our documentation system. Both
doc-comments and outside documentation files are written in
CommonMark. The doc-comments uses Doxygen tags which is then
run through CommonMark, most of the time it does nothing to
the comments, but if you want to write long comments it makes
it much more natural and enjoyable.

It's apparently written in Volt:

It's a language a small group of people (me included) have been
working on for a while, I avoid naming it here because it's a
system level language like D. I don't want to advertise it in any
form here to keep the discussion on D.
But in this case the intent was code sharing. :D
Cheers, Jakob.
