It has been mentioned that before that this would be worthwhile 
for D too.

It also would make it much easier for backends to keep up with 
the front end. The front end generating MIR, and the backends 
using it.

Another option would be to interface with Rust by generating Rust 
MIR from D, if that is possible.

What do you think?

There are some really neat things you can do in Rust today – if 
you’re willing to use the Nightly channel. For example, the 
regex crate comes with macros that, at compile time, turn 
regular expressions directly into machine code to match them.

Eating D's lunch?

Or whatever is left of it. Truth be told re2c was there some ~15 years 
before for those who can stand adding an external code generator to the 
build script.

This is what SDC is doing already.

Interesting, is the format documented somewhere?

No, and it likely to change significantly during the dev at this 
stage.

Looks like it will be in rust "soonish"
