It looks perhaps like dart_api.h is the main file to convert -
I will have a crack at starting this unless anyone knows of any

Dart VM is available as a standalone, which can be set up to act
as a web server. But you want to integrate it into D?
Rationale for using Dart in combination with D is that I am not
thrilled about learning or writing in Javascript, yet one has
to do processing on the client in some language, and there seem
very few viable alternatives for that.
Javascript is easy, but compiling to Javascript from D with
dart2js is also ok if you only want to support the latest
browsers.
Dart makes most sense for internal web applications.
It would be nice to run D from front to back, but at least Dart
has C-like syntax and is reasonably well thought out.
Am I missing any existing bindings somewhere?
I don't think so, but integrating DartVM into D means you have to
deal with two different garbage collectors or put a substantial
amount of work into making D use the Dart collector.
