We have many scripting engines available for use in D more or

Is there a D scripting engine that can be easily integrated
into a D project? A sort of "exec(<dcode>)". Something that
works at compile time and run time possibly? If <dcode> is a
static string then it should be able to compile it at compile
time, else, run time. Also, it would be nice if one could set
up a unique state for the code to run in(so it can't be hacked
by harmful coding), e.g., "exec(<dcode>, state)", where state
is the state used for the exec(passed along to the <dcode> to
use) for external function access and variable passing.
Something that is fast as possible would be nice too! I know
there this is quite a request, but hopefully there will be work
on it. I'd love to see scripting capabilities included with
most programs! This would be a start, at least, for my programs.
Lua and python are already covered ([1] and [2]), for the D code
I don't think so. While you can always call rdmd from D to
compile and execute something in a script-like fashion it may not
provide the level of integration you are looking for. On the
other hand you should have a look at Adam Ruppe's script language
that is written in D, largely benefits from CTFE but can be used
at runtime too and has a JS-like syntax achieved by simply
defining new D types (IIUC). That way you get a well-integrated
easy to use language (although not quite polished). [3]
