I would like to use D as a "scripting" language for my D app.
There seems to be no such thing.
Since we can include the D compiler in our distribution, it is
easy to enable "plugin" capabilities, but directly interfacing
with the source code seems like it would require a bit of
work(duplicating the code that one wants to include so it can
be linked in and "hot swapping").
Which OS do you use? I had a similiar idea but failed on
windows due to some strange effects. I think they were caused
by the known windows dll unload bug, discussed here:
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/rreyasqnvyagrkvqr...@forum.dlang.org
At the end I decided to use the script engine from Adam Ruppe
(arsd) until this bug is fixed.

Yes, windows ;/ Seems that thread has some answers! Maybe bug him
enough to fix the bug?
How far did you get with it?
"The problem seems to only manifest when a proper DllMain()
method is exported from the library. If none is provided, or if
the given implementation can be optimized away, the error does
not ocurr."
Was that the case for you too? That could be overcome with just
using a normal function that is called right after loading?
I'm curious how the exporting of code as that seems to be the
biggest challenge(so that we don't have to hand write the exports
ourselves).
Thanks.
