D has three fully functional compilers on Linux, and is probably in better shape than python, rust, even c++ in that regard.

There is only one frontend though.

The advantage of multiple compilers is that people find subtle differences which humans miss by only reading the spec. Since D has only one frontend, it does not get that benefit although it can technically claim to have three compilers.
