I'm only able to work on the DMD backend now and then, and so it has fallen behind compilers with a small army working solely on a backend.

Sadly, the number of people nerdly enough to want to work on a code generator is very, very small. Me, I find it quite enjoyable.

I cannot even think of anyone who wrote a full stack compiler these days.
