Piotr Szturmaj:
Then open sdl.html in the web browser. It should print sorted
and mapped array contents and run simple graphics demo.
Very nice. D is meant to run efficiently, but the Web is very
important. There are many situations where it could be useful to
run D code in a browser, so your work is important.
Integration with asm.js too is useful. (Expecially when asm.js
gets a garbage collection, as Mozilla says). Currently only C and
C++ are perhaps the only two languages usable to write
asm.js+WebGL games for the browser. This could become one of the
few niches open for D. There is also WebCL
(http://www.khronos.org/webcl/ ) for heavy computations in the
browser.
I have found some related activity from Rust people:
https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/2235
https://github.com/Yoric/Mozilla-Student-Projects/issues/33
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2012-April/001607.html
Once your work is more more completed, the dlang site could show
(in a sub-page) the compiler that compiles the online examples of
the docs that's able to produce html+JS on the fly from the D
code written in the browser.
