I know that. What I meant was that instead of writing javascript we'd
write D instead, in our webpages. Or at least, some subset of D that's
safe for the web. I.e., instead of:
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="myscript.js"/>
...
you'd write
<html><head>
<script type="text/d" src="myscript.d"/>
...
It's unlikely to happen in the near future, though, if at all. But one
can dream. :-)
