Is it possible to write a library that is callable from C without
the enduser even knowing it was written in D? That is, can a C
programmer use the library as though it were written in C
straightforwardly? Or for that matter, by an enduser programming
in Python or Lua where the library is
It is possible to write a D library useable from C. However, we may not
be able to hide the fact that the library has been written in D.
You must first export some D function you want to use from C, using
extern (C) declaration.
Then declare them in your C program or headers.
You will also

You will also have to declare 2 function for initializing and

call rt_init(0) before using your D functions (this will initialize D
