I think you have and have had good intent (that is not necessarily a reality, just a hope, I don't trust anyone or believe anything). I don't diss you. If I had a compiler to build, I'd send out an RFP to you, maybe. If I had a "task" to fill that required a "language builder", I wouldn't call on you, knowing what I know about you and this place. I know you're old, so I won't task you with riddles, so I'll give that answer: "building a language", is not a task on a project manager's schedule. You have kids (I hope!). I think you should put D in maintenance mode (like C and C++ are).
