Thanks for opening a new thread about this topic.
Does DMDScript work with the latest version of D2? I once wanted
to use DMDScript as a server side JS with vibe.d, but there were
issues concerning versions of D etc. so I dropped the idea.
However, with `DScript` I meant a new scripting language that can
draw on the power of D, not necessarily a re-implementation of
JS. Adam[1] and ketmar[2] have already worked on D based
scripting languages. I wonder, if there is interest in creating a
D-based (not `debased`) scripting language. D has features that
are perfect for scripting or DS languages. Why not try something
new? Having a child language might also help with D development
in general, who knows.
