It's often easy to come up with ideas. The hard part is implementing them, and
in many cases, they need to be implemented to be shown that they're viable and
to iron them out.
True, but the fact is that compiler technologies are very specifics.
Even for people really exprienced in devellopement in general, and thus
knowing what work/doesn't work in several languages, or what is needed
to spread D over the IT place, only a reduced portion of them is able to
implement something in a compiler frontend.
Even if you know compilation algorithm and related stuff (that's my
case) you have a tons of details that ends up not being details after
all, that you learn by practice.
And even if you are, then you have to be confident with DMD front end
source code. This is a quite complicated requirement.
Maybe advice could be given about where to start (which algorithm, which
file(s) in the front end) should be given with comments about
implementation.
