There have been fully open source compiler for D for a long time: LDC and GDC.

Yup, but to be fair, they sometimes lack quite a bit behind dmd.

Just to clarify:

LDC master is on 2.073.2 right now (the latest DMD release), with a 2.072.2-based release imminent, and work towards 2.074.0 (currently in beta) already underway.

GDC is sadly a different story, though.

LDC follows dmd pretty closely nowadays. Also this doesn't make an good excuse for not learning the language.
