Maybe we just need to move it to the dlang github namespace,
s.t. it gets properly maintained and maybe even released with

Integration with Jupyter would be cool as well, but I have
basically no idea how to accomplish that.
Yep I would love to have a D Jupyter kernel - there is already
PydMagic [1], which looks great (I haven't tried it yet), but
all those other languages (C, C++, Scala, Java, Tcl, Brainfuck,
Clojure, Ocaml, Erlang, Go, FSharp, Haskell and on the dynamic
end: Python, JavaScript, CoffeeScript, Ruby, PHP, Perl, Octave,
Bash, PowerShell, Lua, Julia, Prolog, J, etc.) [2] managed to
get a working Jupyter kernel, so why don't we :O
I opened an issue at d-repl [3], maybe that's a good place to
start a focussed discussion.

It seems to me that both drepl and dabble are unsupported. It's
not clear to me which one at this point is a better basis for a
stable repl (I kind of prefer drepl, since the code is clearer to
me, and I can mostly compile it.) If you're really interested in
a good REPL for D--which I agree would be a great gain--and want
to fork either of these, I'd be very interested in this effort
and happy to contribute (otherwise I may start going at it on my
own). It really is something I'd use a lot if it existed.
