Google has recently set the ABI for their NaCl:

When a language becomes usable online it gets much more visibility. I don't
know if NaCl will have success (maybe not. I think Mozilla devs don't like
NaCl), but it looks like one of the few (best, only?) ways to use D in
browsers. Fast games are one possible purposes for D in NaCl, like a D port of
this unfinished game:

Someone is planning of a Mono support for NaCl:
http://www.mono-project.com/Release_Notes_Mono_2.10#Google_Native_Client_Support
I think some person is willing to install the NaCl plug-in if it allows to run
nice enough games in the browser. D is an acceptably good language to write
fast games.

I agree; it would be a great idea to have NaCl support in D. With Mono
having support too, the interoperability possibilities would be fantastic.
