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.
The source for the old MiniD language[1] is still available at DSource. Jarret moved on and converted it to C++ as Croc[2], but it might be an interesting project to get the old MiniD code compiling again as a starting point.
