If you are serious about dmd I would recommend it, as I've spent weeks

Indeed, I still have a copy of your zip from before.
I tried to do it too, but I never got a lot of things
working quite right; it'd sometimes crash, I replaced the
AAs with a linear lookup since I didn't get that working
right either.
I ended up using hacked RandAA by David Simcha, it works quite well.
It's a somewhat slow on reads comapred to d's native one, but sure it's
more stable ;)
Your version worked well, as I recall.
But on dmdscript vs v8, v8 is faster, but I'm not too
concerned about speed.
A couple big advantages dmdscript has are:
a) I expect it will be easier to integrate in D apps
b) I already know its source code, so if I want to hack new
things on to the language, it won't be a big todo.
c) license is a little more permissive.
The big one though is familiarity with the source.
Agreed, it's very clean and lean for full interpreter (not to mention
built-ins).
