AFAIK Lance wants to re-write it to the second version with
some improvements in the code.
I've done an initial release of the second version:

The two biggest changes are
- Moving to Dub as the default for compilation, which allows the
use of any other Dub libraries
- It writes the wrappers for you. You write a D function and it
converts it to R.
The part I haven't finished is in the other direction. For
instance, suppose you have a D function that sends data to R many
times. If you don't release the memory on the R side, your
program's going to crash quickly. I haven't worked on this
recently because I've mostly been calling D functions from R.
