Dreams are reality:
https://github.com/DigitalMars/DMDScript
I just tried to compile it on Linux with dmd v2.071.0 in 64bit
mode. The
compiler emits loads of deprecation warnings concerning module
import,
Yeah, the import lookup was recently changed.
and it seems to be geared towards 32bit:
That's right. It should be fixed.
Nevertheless, these are minor issues. If you try to create a
new script compiler, you're in for a heluva lot more work than
fixing some bit rot.
Sure, but then we should turn it into a first class citizen and
update it with each version of dmd and prevent bit rot.
I haven't had a chance to look at the source code in detail yet.
How hard would it be to integrate JIT and D (and C) interop?
Theoretically something like the Derelict-D libs allow for
interop with Python and Lua too. I think we could create
something really nice and useful here.
By the way, provided we go ahead with this, wouldn't the name
DScript be catchier than DMSScript? Although I don't want to
bikeshed about the name now.
