But what was your point about a "C back end"? It didn't make sense in
this context to me at all.
If you a self-hosting compiler written in D with a C backend it's easier
to port to other platforms. You just compile the D compiler with it self
and output C code. Then you compile the C code on another platform.
Anyway, D compilers are not ubiquitous enough to justify scrapping the
C++ ones yet IMO.
I didn't say we should scrap the compilers written in C++. As I've said,
write the compiler in D and provide a C interface to it.
