Maybe we just need to move it to the dlang github namespace,

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's worth noting that some of those Jupyter kernels are pretty
quirky/limited. For example in the C kernel, every cell is an
isolated program with a main function.
Which is not to say it wouldn't be great to have D integration,
just that it's trickier than it may seem at first glance.
