Hello,
I apologize if this is the wrong forum to post this question, but I
couldn't find a corresponding learn mailing list for DMDScript.
I wanted to play around with DMDScript but cant seem to get started.
I downloaded the source and attempted to make it via:
$ make -f osx.mak
But I get the following error:
textgen.d(132): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression ~ some
string ~ of type string to char[]
Am I doing the right thing? Or how do I go about getting building 'ds'
so I can run simpleton scripts?

It's pretty much like Robert says: original source for DMDscript is for
D1 and wasn't update for quite some time.
Still the D2 port should work with no problems. And even though I did it
in the first place, the only benefit of it right now is that it's
written in D and thus could be integrated with D projects slightly
better. Still if you are up for some hacking give it a try.
As for speed, yeah, it's something like around 20-200x slower at various
workloads (e.g. numerics in JavaScript and such), so wouldn't recommend
if you have performance in mind.
